Most kids don't need more content. They need to know how the test works.

What you get

Everything lives in one place — no separate workbooks, no separate tutor, no guesswork about what to practise next.

Learning

Every Selective question type explained in plain language, with the strategy and shortcuts that make it click — Reading, Maths and Thinking Skills.

26 question types

Practice

Targeted practice questions for every question type, with instant feedback and worked explanations, so your child drills exactly what they need.

1000+ practice questions

Test simulator

Full-length, timed test packs that match the real computer-based test, so test day feels familiar instead of stressful.

How it works

The same three steps for both tests.

01

Find the gaps

Practice and the dashboard show exactly which question types trip your child up — not just "maths" or "reading", but the specific pattern underneath it.

02

Learn the strategy

Clear, step-by-step lessons for each question type, written for the age of the students who sit that test — including the shortcuts that save time on test day.

03

Retest and lock it in

Go back and practise the same question types until they click, then sit full timed tests. No wasted hours on skills your child already has.

Why families use Test Wizard

Three reasons it works better than another workbook or another tutor.

Learn strategy, not just content

Most kids know more than the test shows. Test Wizard teaches the moves that turn what your child already knows into a right answer, under time pressure.

Work smarter, not harder

No lengthy courses and no endless worksheets. A focused plan that puts practice time exactly where it will move the needle for your child.

You already know it

For most students, the ceiling isn't ability — it's familiarity with the test itself. Test Wizard closes that gap fast.

"I built Test Wizard after preparing my own child for the OC Placement Test. A focused diagnostic, a clear explanation of each question type, then a retest — a few hours a week, not months of tutoring. That was it, and it worked. Test Wizard turns that same approach into a tool other families can use."
— Hamid, founder of Test Wizard
