Gain Entry to Queensland Academies with Online EduTest Practice

Choose based on your child's genuine interests and strengths. QASMT (Toowong) is for STEM-passionate students excelling in math and science. QACI (Kelvin Grove) is for creative students interested in arts, media, and design. QAHS (Southport/Nathan) is for students drawn to health sciences and medicine. Each campus uses the same EduTest format but has distinct specializations and IB program focus. BrainTree can help assess which campus best fits your child's profile through our free diagnostic assessment.

For optimal results, start 18-24 months before target entry (95% success rate with BrainTree families). Year 7 entry applicants should begin in Year 5, and Year 10 entry applicants should start in Year 8. A minimum 12-18 month preparation is recommended for students already in the top 10% of their class (85% success rate). Starting with only 6-12 months is high-risk and only suitable for exceptional students with very strong foundations.

Based on 300+ Brisbane students coached by BrainTree, Numerical Reasoning is consistently the hardest component - testing abstract patterns and logic not taught in regular schools, with only 60 seconds per question. Verbal Reasoning ranks second due to Grade 10-11 vocabulary requirements (even for Year 7 entry). Mathematics requires multi-step problem-solving beyond curriculum, and Reading Comprehension challenges students with time pressure and inference questions.

Yes! Queensland Academies are FREE Queensland state schools. However, families should budget for application fees ($250), IB Diploma materials (~$500-1,000/year), excursions (~$500-1,500/year), required technology (laptop/iPad ~$1,500), uniform (~$300-500), and transport. Total 6-year costs range from $10,000-30,000 depending on choices - compared to $120,000-240,000+ for Brisbane private schools. Queensland Academies offer elite IB education at less than 10% the cost of private schools.
