St Peters is one of Brisbane's largest independent schools, with two campuses. It doesn't offer 100% scholarships. Applicants must first submit an online enrolment application to the College, then register for the EduTest exam. Boarding scholarships for rural and remote students have a later deadline.
Which test does St Peters use?
St Peters uses the EduTest academic scholarship exam, which is a different format from the ACER test used by many other Brisbane schools. Indooroopilly applicants sit the exam at the Indooroopilly campus.
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 exam results
- An online enrolment application to the College (required before sitting)
- Australian or New Zealand citizenship or Australian permanent residency; temporary visa holders aren't eligible
- No 100% awards are offered
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
