Student response (illustrative excerpt)
Many people believe that school uniforms should be compulsory. I agree with this statement because uniforms create a sense of belonging, reduce distractions and allow students to focus on learning. For example, when everyone wears the same clothes, there is less pressure to buy expensive brands, which can be unfair on families.
However, some people argue that uniforms take away individual expression. While this is true to some extent, I believe students can still express themselves through their behaviour, interests and the way they treat others.

A few useful answers
Questions before you start?
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Are these official exam papers?
No. These are independent practice materials. Practice Tests & Exams is not affiliated with QASMT, Brisbane State High School or the NSW Department of Education. Practice scores do not predict admission.
How is writing marked?
A human marker reviews the submitted response and provides rubric scores and feedback. Each writing test includes one human marking. Feedback is normally available within five business days.
Can I add more than one child?
Yes. Parents can manage separate child profiles. Adding a profile is free; paid test access is assigned to the child selected at purchase, rather than shared automatically between siblings.
Can I track progress over time?
Yes. Parent and child dashboards show test history and skill information from completed work. You can view today, the last 7 days, the last 30 days or all time. Skills without sufficient results are shown as unassessed rather than given a zero score.
