A balanced preparation bundle covering all three OC test components with vocabulary support. More depth than the Premium Pack, with enough material for 6 months of consistent practice.
Complete one Reading, one Maths, and one Thinking Skills test under timed conditions. Don't prepare beforehand — this reveals your child's starting point across the three OC components. Review video solutions together for the Maths and Thinking Skills tests, and discuss Reading answers to identify comprehension patterns.
Set a consistent schedule: 3 practice sessions per week (15–20 minutes each) alternating between Reading, Maths, and Thinking Skills. Start the Vocabulary course alongside — 3 lessons per week builds word knowledge that directly supports Reading comprehension. At Year 4 level, keep sessions short and enjoyable to build positive habits.
By now you will see patterns — your child may find Thinking Skills unfamiliar or Reading inference questions challenging. Adjust the balance: spend proportionally more tests on weaker components. The video explanations for Maths and Thinking Skills tests are particularly valuable for understanding problem-solving approaches, not just answers.
In the final 4–6 weeks, practise completing all three components in a single session under timed conditions. The OC test is computer-based — practise on-screen if possible. By this point your child should have completed most tests and worked through the vocabulary courses. Use the remaining tests for full mock exams to build exam stamina and confidence.
The NSW Opportunity Class (OC) Placement Test is sat by Year 4 students for entry to Year 5 OC classes across NSW. The computer-based test covers three equally weighted components: Reading (14 questions, 40 minutes), Mathematical Reasoning (35 questions, 40 minutes), and Thinking Skills (30 questions, 30 minutes). Approximately 13,000 Year 4 students sit the test each year for around 2,200 OC places.
The Ultimate Pack provides 10 tests per OC component — enough to build genuine familiarity with the test format and develop consistent performance across all three areas. The video explanations for Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills tests help your child understand how to approach problems, not just memorise answers. This is particularly important for Thinking Skills, where learning to recognise pattern types is more valuable than drilling individual questions.
The addition of Foundation and Advanced Vocabulary Courses is what differentiates the Ultimate Pack from the Premium Pack. Strong vocabulary directly improves OC Reading scores — children who know more words comprehend passages faster and make better inferences. The vocabulary courses also build general academic confidence. With 180 days of access, the Ultimate Pack supports a 6-month preparation timeline at a comfortable pace of 2 tests per week.
