About the Exam
Victoria's leading private schools offer academic scholarships through competitive entrance exams administered by Edutest or ACER. These exams test mathematical reasoning, reading comprehension, writing, and general ability. Big Brain provides unlimited practice across both exam formats, with sub-skill analytics that show exactly where to focus your preparation for maximum scholarship success.

How to Prepare for VIC Scholarships
Check which provider your target school uses (Edutest or ACER) — the exam formats differ significantly.
Apply to multiple schools with the same exam provider to maximise your chances with one exam sitting.
Scholarship exams often include abstract/general ability reasoning — these skills improve with dedicated practice over months, not weeks.
Writing quality matters more in scholarship exams — schools want students who can communicate exceptionally well.
Keep track of each school's application deadlines separately, as they vary widely between February and May.
