ASET Practice Tests: Your Complete Free Resource Guide for WA Preparation
Preparing for the Academic Selective Entrance Test (ASET) is one of the most significant academic challenges facing Year 5 students in Western Australia. With Perth Modern School's 2024 cutoff sitting at 247.2 out of a possible 400 TSS (Total Standardised Score), the competition for places in WA's gifted and talented programmes is fierce — and effective practice is the single greatest advantage your child can have.
Yet many parents find themselves overwhelmed when searching for ASET practice tests and preparation materials. Which resources are genuinely useful? How should practice sessions be structured across the four test components? And can free resources truly prepare your child for the demands of this paper-based examination?
This guide answers all of those questions. Whether you are just beginning your child's ASET and GATE exam preparation journey or looking to refine an existing study plan, you will find actionable strategies, vetted free resources, and a clear framework for building confidence across every component of the test.
The ASET is the gateway to Western Australia's most prestigious academic programs, including Perth Modern School — the state's only fully academically selective high school. Understanding how to prepare effectively can make the difference between a successful application and disappointment.
In this guide, you'll discover:
- How the ASET's four components are structured and what each demands
- Where to find quality free practice tests and sample questions for WA students
- Component-by-component practice strategies tailored to Reading, Quantitative, Abstract, and Writing

Understanding the ASET Test Format
Before diving into practice resources, your child needs a clear understanding of exactly what the ASET demands. The test is paper-based — a significant distinction from the computer-based selective tests used in other states like NSW — and comprises four distinct components completed over 2 hours and 45 minutes.
ASET Test at a Glance
Four components, one paper-based sitting, maximum 400 TSS
Reading
Comprehension, inference, and vocabulary in context
Quantitative Reasoning
Mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, and number sense
Abstract Reasoning
Non-verbal pattern recognition and spatial logic
Writing
Extended response demonstrating structure, argument, and fluency
Each component contributes to the Total Standardised Score (TSS), which has a maximum of 400 points. The standardisation process means raw scores are adjusted to account for the difficulty of each year's paper, so your child's performance is measured relative to the entire cohort.
Understanding this structure is the first step in targeted practice. For instance, the Abstract Reasoning component allows only 20 minutes for 35 questions — roughly 34 seconds per question — making speed and pattern recognition critical. In contrast, the Writing task gives 25 minutes for a single extended response, rewarding depth and sophistication over speed.

Why Practice Tests Are the Foundation of ASET Success
Practice tests serve a purpose far beyond simply "revising content." When used strategically, they become the most powerful diagnostic and confidence-building tool in your child's preparation. This is true whether you're preparing for the ASET in WA or selective school tests in other states.
Familiarity reduces anxiety. The ASET is a high-stakes, timed, paper-based examination. For many Year 5 students, this is their first experience with formal test conditions. Repeated exposure to the format — the answer sheet layout, the time pressure, the question styles — transforms the unfamiliar into the routine.
Diagnosis drives improvement. A single practice test reveals more about your child's strengths and weaknesses than weeks of general study. If your child consistently loses marks on inference-based reading questions but excels at vocabulary, you know exactly where to focus subsequent preparation.
Time management becomes instinctive. The ASET's tight time constraints — particularly in Abstract Reasoning — demand more than knowledge. They demand practised efficiency. Students who have completed multiple timed practice papers develop an internal clock that prevents them from spending too long on any single question.
"Practice doesn't make perfect — it makes prepared. The students who perform best on test day are rarely the most naturally gifted. They are the ones who have practised under realistic conditions until the format feels second nature."
Selective School Preparation Team
Confidence compounds. Each practice test your child completes — and reviews — builds a layer of confidence. They begin to recognise question patterns, trust their instincts, and approach the real exam knowing they have already succeeded in similar conditions.
Free ASET Practice Resources Worth Your Time
Finding quality free ASET practice materials requires knowing where to look. While no free resource perfectly replicates the official ASET, several provide genuine value when used as part of a structured preparation plan.
Official and Semi-Official Sources
The Western Australian Department of Education publishes information about the Gifted and Talented selection process, including guidance on what each component assesses. While full sample papers are limited, any officially released material should be your starting point — it is the closest representation of actual test content.
The WA Department of Education website provides familiarisation materials that help students understand what to expect on test day. These official resources, while limited in quantity, are invaluable for understanding the exact style and expectations of the examination.
General Reasoning and Aptitude Resources
Many of the skills tested in the ASET — particularly in Reading, Quantitative Reasoning, and Abstract Reasoning — overlap with those assessed in other Australian selective and scholarship examinations. Resources designed for HAST, NAPLAN (at an advanced level), or interstate selective tests can be adapted for ASET practice.
Reading comprehension resources are the most transferable. Any quality comprehension passage with inference, vocabulary-in-context, and main-idea questions develops the same analytical reading skills the ASET demands. Look for texts that challenge your child with sophisticated vocabulary and complex argument structures.
Abstract reasoning practice is widely available online through pattern recognition and non-verbal reasoning question banks. These are particularly valuable because abstract reasoning is a skill that improves dramatically with exposure — students who have never encountered matrix-style or series-completion questions struggle far more than those who have practised even a modest number.
Mathematical reasoning resources from various scholarship exam preparations can help build the problem-solving skills needed for the Quantitative Reasoning component. Focus on questions that require logical thinking rather than rote calculation.
BrainTree's Free Resources
BrainTree offers free mock tests that include selective-school-style questions across multiple components. These are designed to reflect the reasoning depth and time pressure of real examinations, making them an excellent starting point for WA families exploring practice options.
Our free resources include diagnostic assessments that help identify your child's baseline performance across all four ASET components, allowing you to target preparation where it matters most.
💡 Getting the Most from Free Resources
Free resources are most effective when treated as supplements to a structured plan, not as the plan itself. Use official guidance to understand what is tested, free question banks to build foundational skills, and timed practice papers (free or paid) to develop examination stamina and time management.
Component-by-Component Practice Strategies
Each ASET component demands a different skill set — and therefore a different practice approach. Here is how to target your child's preparation for maximum impact.
Reading (35 Questions / 35 Minutes)
The Reading component assesses comprehension at multiple levels: literal understanding, inference, vocabulary in context, author's purpose, and the ability to synthesise information across a passage.
Practice strategy: Begin with untimed comprehension exercises to build analytical depth. Focus on questions that ask why an author chose specific language or what can be inferred rather than questions with answers stated directly in the text. Once accuracy is strong, introduce timed conditions — aiming for one minute per question as a benchmark.
Encourage your child to read broadly: quality fiction, non-fiction articles, editorials, and scientific explanations all develop the flexible comprehension the ASET rewards. Newspapers like The Australian and quality magazines provide excellent practice material for developing sophisticated reading skills.
Key skills to develop:
- Identifying main ideas and supporting details
- Making inferences from implicit information
- Understanding vocabulary in context
- Recognising author's purpose and tone
- Synthesising information across multiple paragraphs
Quantitative Reasoning (35 Questions / 35 Minutes)
This component goes beyond arithmetic. It tests mathematical reasoning — the ability to identify patterns, apply logic to number-based problems, and solve multi-step questions efficiently.
Practice strategy: Ensure your child has strong foundational numeracy (fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios) before moving to reasoning-heavy practice. Use problem-solving question banks that require students to choose the right approach rather than follow a prescribed method. Mental maths drills — even five minutes daily — build the speed needed to manage one question per minute.
Key areas to cover:
- Number patterns and sequences
- Fractions, decimals, and percentages
- Ratios and proportional reasoning
- Word problems requiring multi-step solutions
- Data interpretation from tables and graphs
- Spatial reasoning and measurement
Abstract Reasoning (35 Questions / 20 Minutes)
Abstract Reasoning is the most time-pressured component at roughly 34 seconds per question. It assesses non-verbal reasoning through pattern recognition, spatial manipulation, and logical sequencing.
Practice strategy: This is the component where practice yields the fastest improvement. Expose your child to matrix patterns, series completion, odd-one-out, and spatial rotation questions. Start with untimed practice to build pattern-recognition vocabulary, then progressively tighten time limits. Many students benefit from verbalising their reasoning — explaining why a pattern works — before transitioning to rapid silent processing.
Common question types:
- Matrix completion (find the missing piece)
- Series continuation (identify the next in sequence)
- Odd-one-out (identify the pattern breaker)
- Spatial rotation and reflection
- Analogical reasoning (A is to B as C is to ?)
Writing (1 Task / 25 Minutes)
The Writing task requires a sustained, well-structured response produced under time pressure. Markers assess content, organisation, vocabulary, sentence variety, and mechanics.
Practice strategy: Have your child practise writing to a strict 25-minute limit at least twice per week. Focus on planning speed — allocating 3–4 minutes to a brief plan before writing — as structured responses consistently outscore longer but disorganised ones. Read strong exemplar responses together and discuss what makes them effective. Build a bank of sophisticated vocabulary and varied sentence starters that your child can deploy confidently.
Writing success factors:
- Clear thesis or central argument
- Logical paragraph structure with transitions
- Specific examples and evidence
- Varied sentence structures and vocabulary
- Correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar
Essential Practice Habits Across All Components
- ✓Practise under timed conditions at least twice per week
- ✓Review every incorrect answer — understand why the correct answer is right
- ✓Track scores across practice tests to identify trends and improvement areas
- ✓Simulate paper-based conditions (no screens, printed answer sheets)
- ✓Alternate between component-focused sessions and full-length practice tests
- ✓Prioritise weak areas without neglecting strengths
Creating an Effective Practice Schedule
Research and experience suggest that 168 or more hours of preparation gives students the best chance of performing to their potential on the ASET. That number can feel daunting — but spread across 6–8 months, it translates to a manageable and sustainable weekly routine.
Recommended ASET Preparation Phases
Foundation Phase
Objectives
- Build core skills in each component
- Identify baseline strengths and weaknesses
Key Activities
- Diagnostic practice test under timed conditions
- Daily reading (20–30 min)
- Mental maths drills (10 min daily)
- Abstract reasoning introduction (3 sessions/week)
- Weekly writing practice (untimed, focus on structure)
Development Phase
Objectives
- Deepen reasoning skills
- Build speed and accuracy under time pressure
Key Activities
- Weekly timed component tests
- Targeted practice on weak areas (3–4 sessions/week)
- Full-length practice test every 2–3 weeks
- Writing under timed conditions weekly
- Review and error analysis after every test
Refinement Phase
Objectives
- Consolidate skills
- Build exam-day confidence and stamina
Key Activities
- Fortnightly full-length practice tests under exam conditions
- Fine-tune time management strategies
- Focus on high-yield improvements identified through error analysis
- Reduce study intensity in final week to avoid burnout
- Practice test-day routine (timing, materials, breaks)
A well-designed schedule balances component-specific practice with full-length simulations. Component sessions allow targeted skill-building, while full-length tests develop the stamina needed to maintain concentration across 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Sample Weekly Practice Schedule
A typical preparation week during the Development Phase might look like:
- Monday: Reading comprehension (30 min) + Mental maths (10 min)
- Tuesday: Abstract reasoning practice (25 min) + Vocabulary building (15 min)
- Wednesday: Quantitative reasoning problems (30 min) + Mental maths (10 min)
- Thursday: Timed writing task (25 min) + Review previous writing (15 min)
- Friday: Abstract reasoning timed drill (20 min) + Reading (20 min)
- Saturday: Full component practice test (45–60 min) + Error review (30 min)
- Sunday: Rest or light reading
⚠️ Avoid Burnout
More practice is not always better. Year 5 students need rest, play, and time away from study to perform at their best. If your child shows signs of fatigue, frustration, or declining motivation, reduce session length or frequency. Sustainable, consistent practice over months will always outperform intensive cramming in the final weeks.
Free vs Paid ASET Resources: Making the Right Choice
Both free and paid resources have a place in effective ASET preparation. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each helps you invest wisely — whether that investment is time, money, or both.
Free vs Paid ASET Practice Resources
Understanding where each adds the most value
| Feature | Option 1 | Option 2 | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | Varies ($50–$2,000+) | Free for early stages; paid for depth |
| Question Quality | Variable — ranges from excellent to poorly aligned | Generally higher and more consistently aligned to ASET format | Paid resources are typically more reliable |
| Timed Practice Tests | Limited availability of full-length timed tests | Usually includes multiple full-length papers with timing guides | Paid resources offer more realistic simulations |
| Answer Explanations | Often minimal or absent | Detailed explanations for every question | Explanations are critical — paid wins here |
| Progress Tracking | Manual tracking required | Often includes score tracking and diagnostics | Paid platforms save time on analysis |
| Writing Feedback | No feedback on written responses | Expert marking and feedback available | Writing feedback is a major paid advantage |
| Flexibility | Use anytime, no commitment | May require subscriptions or fixed schedules | Free resources offer maximum flexibility |
The most effective approach is typically a blended strategy: use free resources to build foundational skills and assess readiness, then invest in paid resources — such as structured courses, marked writing assessments, and realistic full-length practice papers — to refine performance in the months leading up to the test.
For WA families exploring structured preparation, our ASET and GATE exam preparation courses are designed specifically around the four-component ASET format, with content calibrated to the reasoning depth and time pressure of the actual examination.
Using Practice Tests Effectively: Beyond Just "Doing Papers"
The difference between students who improve through practice and those who plateau often comes down to how they use practice tests — not how many they complete.
The Practice-Review-Improve Cycle
Simulate Real Conditions
Complete the practice test (or component) under timed, paper-based conditions. Remove distractions, use a printed paper and answer sheet, and enforce strict time limits. This builds the stamina and discipline needed for test day.
Score and Record Results
Mark the test and record the score for each component. Track results over time in a simple spreadsheet or notebook. Patterns in scores reveal whether preparation is working and where gaps remain.
Conduct Error Analysis
For every incorrect answer, identify why the mistake occurred. Was it a knowledge gap, a misread question, a time-pressure error, or a careless slip? Each category demands a different response in subsequent practice.
Target Weak Areas
Use the error analysis to direct the next practice sessions. If inference questions are consistently weak, the next Reading session should focus exclusively on inference. Improvement is fastest when practice is targeted, not random.
Re-test and Compare
After focused practice on a weak area, complete another timed test and compare results. Measurable improvement reinforces motivation and confirms the strategy is working. If scores have not improved, adjust the approach.
Paper-based practice is non-negotiable. The ASET is a paper-based examination. Practising exclusively on screens does not replicate the experience of reading from printed passages, filling in answer sheets by hand, and managing a physical test booklet. Ensure at least some practice sessions use printed materials.
Treat the Writing component differently. Unlike the multiple-choice components, Writing cannot be self-marked effectively. If possible, have a teacher, tutor, or experienced marker review your child's practice essays. Feedback on structure, argument development, and vocabulary use is far more valuable than simply practising in isolation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in ASET Preparation
Even dedicated families can undermine their child's preparation through common missteps. Understanding what to avoid is as important as knowing what to do.
Critical Preparation Mistakes
Avoid these common errors
Starting Too Late
Beginning preparation less than 3 months before the test rarely allows sufficient time to build skills and confidence. The ASET tests reasoning abilities that develop over time, not overnight.
Neglecting Abstract Reasoning
Many students focus on Reading and Maths because they feel familiar. Abstract Reasoning is unfamiliar but highly trainable — and often determines borderline outcomes.
Practising Without Timing
Untimed practice builds understanding but not exam readiness. Students who never practise under time pressure often run out of time on test day.
Ignoring Error Analysis
Completing practice tests without reviewing errors means repeating the same mistakes. Quality analysis of 5 tests beats mindlessly completing 20.
Over-Practising and Burnout
Excessive practice in the final weeks can lead to fatigue and anxiety. Students perform best when they arrive at the test rested and confident, not exhausted.
Screen-Only Practice for Paper-Based Test
The ASET is paper-based. Students who only practise on screens miss the physical experience of managing an answer booklet and reading from printed pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many practice tests should my child complete before the ASET?
There is no single magic number, but most well-prepared students complete between 8 and 15 full-length practice tests across their preparation period, in addition to numerous component-specific practice sessions. Quality of review matters more than quantity of papers. A student who thoroughly analyses 10 tests will typically outperform one who rushes through 25 without reflection.
Are NAPLAN practice papers useful for ASET preparation?
NAPLAN assesses different skills at a different level. While NAPLAN reading and numeracy materials can support foundational skill-building, they do not reflect the reasoning depth or time pressure of the ASET. Use them as supplementary resources for younger students or to address specific skill gaps, not as primary ASET preparation.
When should ASET preparation begin?
Most families find that starting 6 to 8 months before the test allows sufficient time to build skills progressively without creating unsustainable pressure. Beginning in the year prior to the test year (typically during Year 4 or early Year 5) provides a comfortable runway for the recommended 168+ hours of preparation. For families starting later, a more intensive schedule may be necessary, but avoid cramming in the final weeks.
Can my child prepare for the ASET without paid resources?
Yes — with caveats. Free resources can build foundational skills effectively, particularly in Reading comprehension and Abstract Reasoning. However, the areas where paid resources add the most value are realistic full-length practice tests, detailed answer explanations, and expert feedback on Writing. If budget is a concern, prioritise paid resources for Writing feedback and full-length simulations.
How important is the Writing component relative to the other sections?
Every component contributes to the Total Standardised Score. While the Writing task is only a single question, it carries meaningful weight in the overall score. Students who neglect Writing practice in favour of the multiple-choice components risk leaving significant marks on the table. A well-structured, articulate response can differentiate your child from other candidates with similar scores across the other three components.
Is the ASET the same as the GATE test?
The terms are closely related. ASET (Academic Selective Entrance Test) is the specific examination used for entry to Perth Modern School. GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) refers to the broader programme that includes both Perth Modern and 23 other GATE schools across WA. The selection process involves the same test, but the pathways and cutoff scores differ. Our ASET and GATE exam preparation page explains the distinction in detail.
What is a competitive score for Perth Modern School entry?
Perth Modern School is the most competitive GATE program in WA. The 2024 cutoff was approximately 247.2 out of 400 TSS. However, cutoffs vary year to year based on the applicant pool. Rather than targeting a specific number, focus on maximising performance across all four components. Strong, consistent performance across Reading, Quantitative, Abstract, and Writing gives the best chance of a competitive score.
How does the ASET compare to selective tests in other states?
The ASET differs from interstate selective tests in several ways. Unlike the NSW Selective Test, the ASET is paper-based rather than computer-based. The component structure (Reading, Quantitative, Abstract, Writing) is similar to many selective tests, but the specific question styles and time allocations differ. Preparation should be tailored to the ASET specifically, though general reasoning skills transfer across all selective examinations.
Should my child also apply for other GATE programs besides Perth Modern?
Yes, this is generally recommended. Perth Modern is the most competitive program, with limited places. Other GATE programs across the 23 participating schools offer excellent academic opportunities with less intense competition. Listing multiple preferences increases your child's chances of securing a gifted and talented placement. Review the full list of GATE schools and their specialisations before finalising your preferences.
What happens if my child is placed on the reserve list?
The reserve list operates as a backup system. If students decline their offers (perhaps accepting a place at a private school), places are offered to reserve list candidates in order. The amount of reserve list movement varies by school and year. Perth Modern typically sees less movement than other GATE programs due to its prestige. Being on the reserve list means there is still a chance of receiving an offer, though families should also have backup plans in place.
