Question 1

What are selective and scholarship tests, and who sit them?

Accepted Answer

They are entrance exams used to select students for academically selective public schools and for scholarship places at independent schools. They typically test reasoning and core skills — maths, reading, and verbal or non-verbal reasoning — rather than the school curriculum, and are usually sat in the year before entry. Quantyle is built to prepare students for these tests across Australia.

Question 2

Which states and tests does Quantyle cover?

Accepted Answer

Quantyle follows the blueprint for each state's main pathway: Victoria (Selective Entry), New South Wales (Selective High School), the ACT (ACER HAST), Queensland (EduTest), Western Australia (GATE / ASET) and South Australia (IGNITE / HAST). Each state shows the right subjects, question counts and time limits for its test.

Question 3

When should we start preparing?

Accepted Answer

Most families find that several months of steady, low-pressure practice works far better than cramming. Starting early lets a student build reasoning skills gradually, get comfortable with the test format, and reduce nerves. Because Quantyle is unlimited, you can practise little and often without running out of material.

Question 4

How is Quantyle different from a fixed pack of practice tests?

Accepted Answer

Most products give you a set number of tests; once you've done them, they repeat. Quantyle draws every test from a large bank of more than a thousand questions per subject per state, so each test is freshly assembled and your child keeps meeting new questions instead of memorising a fixed set.

Question 5

Will my child see the same questions over and over?

Accepted Answer

No. The platform remembers the questions a student has recently seen and excludes them, so new tests stay fresh. With such a large bank, repeats are rare in normal use.

Question 6

How many practice tests can my child do?

Accepted Answer

As many as they like. There is no daily or total cap on a paid subscription — practise whenever it suits, across every subject your state's test includes.

Question 7

What subjects are included, and do they match the real exam?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the state, you'll find Mathematics, Quantitative or Numerical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and Abstract (Non-Verbal) Reasoning, plus Writing. Each state only shows the subjects its test uses, with matching question counts and timing.

Question 8

How are the writing tasks marked?

Accepted Answer

Writing prompts are graded by an AI-powered assessment tool that gives a score and specific, constructive feedback on structure, ideas, vocabulary and expression — so a student can see exactly what to improve, not just a mark.

Question 9

Does every question come with an explanation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every multiple-choice question shows a clear, step-by-step explanation after you submit, so practice turns into genuine learning rather than guesswork.

Question 10

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create a free account and try a limited preview of each subject before deciding to subscribe — no card required to start.

Question 11

Can a parent or guardian receive progress reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you register or subscribe you can opt in to weekly progress reports and provide a parent or guardian email. You can turn this on or off at any time.

Question 12

Is the subscription a recurring charge?

Accepted Answer

No. Quantyle subscriptions are one-time purchases for a fixed term (for example 1, 3, 6 or 12 months) and do not auto-renew. Your access simply runs for the period you bought, and you choose whether to renew.

Question 13

What devices does Quantyle work on?

Accepted Answer

Quantyle runs in any modern web browser, so it works on a laptop, desktop or tablet. As several state tests are now computer-based, practising on screen is good preparation in itself.

Question 14

How should we structure our preparation?

Accepted Answer

A simple rhythm works well: short, regular sessions; reviewing the explanation for every question got wrong; and a full timed test now and then to build exam stamina. Rotate across subjects so no area is neglected, and review the explanations in Launchpad's FAQ if you're unsure how a section works.

Question 15

My child finds one subject much harder than the others — can Quantyle help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because tests are unlimited and drawn from a huge bank, a student can focus extra practice on a weaker area without exhausting the questions, and the explanations help turn repeated mistakes into understanding.
