My son has been attending Top Scope College Chadstone centre for the last two years. Dr. Olivia and her team of esteemed teachers have been instrumental in supporting and guiding our ward and us towards the Selective school examination process. My son has been able to secure a seat in a Selective school for 2022 and we sincerely appreciate and recommend the tutorials and coaching at Top Scope college which have helped our son to achieve this milestone.
My child was previously attending the selective school preparation and writing classes at Top Scope Chadstone. Teachers: professional and motivated to help students to obtain deep understanding. Materials: Great and high standard. Lots of practice tests and they were similar to the actual exam. Olivia and her team: Extremely supportive. They listen to individual student's needs/situations and try to give the best solutions flexibly to help students achieve their goals. My child left there after he got an offer from the selective school but after some break he returned with his own will, just because he thought Top Scope is the best environment to be in to have a good study habit again. We can definitely recommend.
My Son attended Selective school coaching in Top Scope College including the CRW classes and it really helped him get through the exam and obtain an offer from MH. The exams, feedbacks and free helping classes helped him make good progress with his studies. Thanks to entire TSC team for their focused effort in helping students achieve excellence!
More than 1000 success stories have demonstrated that our selective & scholarship Test Year 8 program is highly effective.
Students will practise mock tests every second week in class which will cover Edutest, ACER and AAS three exam systems to help students prepare for private school scholarship exams and selective high school exams. Writing tests will be delivered every week in class. Before the Selective High School entry examination, five sets of simulation exams will be offered to our students under real exam conditions.
Selective high school entry examination is designed to improve the potential developmental capacity of a student’s learning abilities, utilizing difficult problem-solving questions and sourcing content from the national curriculum years ahead of the student’s expected level as the primary mode of examination.
In our SST8 class, students will receive individualized test reports after each mock exam. Our program consultants will help parents and students to analyse every student’s progress, strengths and weakness. Furthermore, we will provide additional material for concept learning to enhance students’ abilities to Year 9 and Year 10 levels.

Miss. Eve BarclayGeneral Manager of Box Hill BranchThe Victorian selective school exam is one of the most competitive tests students sit during their school years. Places at Melbourne High, Mac.Robertson Girls', Nossal, and Suzanne Cory are limited, and most students who receive offers have been preparing consistently for 12 months or more.
TopScope's SST8 program is built specifically around this exam. Students work through 40+ simulation test papers covering Edutest, ACER, and AAS formats, with writing practice every week and five full mock exams run under real exam conditions before the actual test date. Individual progress reports are provided after every mock exam so parents always know where their child stands.
The selective school entrance exam tests students across three areas: reading comprehension, mathematics, and general ability. It is a timed exam and the questions are designed to go beyond standard school curriculum level, which is why preparation with structured practice papers makes a significant difference to results.
Most students sitting the exam are in Year 7. If your child is currently in Year 7 and planning to apply, view the selective school application page for information on dates and the application process, or book a free assessment to get started with preparation.
