St John's Anglican College at a glance

St John's sets a high bar and says so: applicants should be high achievers, such as students in the top 10% nationally on NAPLAN. The portfolio and interview carry real weight alongside the exam.

Which test does St John's Anglican use?

St John's Anglican College uses EduTest. The registration fee is paid directly to EduTest, and applicants not already enrolled also pay a college application fee.

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 results
• A named portfolio: the last two years of school reports, the most recent NAPLAN report and two written references from non-family adults
• High achievement, such as top 10% nationally on NAPLAN
• An interview with the Principal or a delegate for shortlisted families
• Australian citizenship or permanent residency

How to prepare

• Start about three months out. For a February test, that means November.
• 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.
