Which test does Peace Lutheran use?
Peace Lutheran requires every applicant to sit the EduTest educational assessment. The date and registration link are in the college's Scholarship Handbook.
EduTest has five sections: verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, reading comprehension and mathematics (30 minutes each, multiple choice), plus a 15-minute written expression task with no separate planning time. Results are compared with students in the same year level nationally.
You register through the EduTest link on the school's website. Use the same email address for every EduTest registration, so results can be matched and, where schools take part, transferred between schools in the same testing cycle.

What else counts
- EduTest assessment results
- The application form for the chosen scholarship
- A portfolio, emailed or delivered to the college
How to prepare
- Start about three months out. Count back from the school's test date.
- Sit one full timed practice test in the right format to find the weakest section.
- Practise writing under time, with feedback on one thing at a time. Writing is the section families find hardest to judge at home.
- Build reading stamina with a mix of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and talk about what writers imply, not just what happens.
- Keep the last week light. Familiarity and rest matter more than cramming.
Practice for the EduTest scholarship test
Our EduTest-format mock exams cover all five sections under timed conditions, with worked explanations, a skill breakdown and written expression marked by a human teacher.
These are independent practice materials, not official test papers, and they don't predict scholarship outcomes.
