Opportunity Class placement test preparation
Opportunity class test is designed to identify academically gifted students with high potential in public primary schools. Year 4 students are eligible to take the test.

- Reading - 25 items - 30 minutes
- Mathematical Reasoning - 35 items - 40 minutes
- Thinking Skills - 30 items - 30 minutes
Understanding the Opportunity Class Placement Test
Does your bright Year 4 student seem bored with regular schoolwork? Are you worried they’re not reaching their full potential? Opportunity Classes (OC) could be the answer, but the path starts with the OC Placement Test.
The OC Placement Test is designed to assess students’ academic ability and potential — especially in areas not always emphasised in the standard curriculum. It’s a gateway to specialised OC programs within select government primary schools across New South Wales and a chance for your child to explore their full capabilities.
The test consists of three distinct sections:
- Reading — Assesses reading comprehension, vocabulary and the ability to analyse texts (25 items – 30 minutes)
- Mathematical reasoning — Focuses on advanced mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities (35 items – 40 minutes)
- Thinking skills — Challenges students’ critical thinking, problem-solving and creative reasoning skills (30 items – 30 minutes)
At Schoolola, our expert tutors provide personalised guidance and targeted OC test preparation to help your child achieve their best and open the door to this enriching educational opportunity.

Uncover hidden strengths
Targeted Opportunity Class Test preparation can reveal academic strengths your child may not even be aware of. This process fosters a deeper understanding of their learning style and helps them tackle challenging concepts with newfound confidence.
Develop essential academic skills
OC test preparation goes beyond memorisation. It strengthens core skills in critical thinking, advanced problem-solving and clear communication — which have lasting benefits long after the test itself.
Gain confidence and test-taking savvy
The pressure of a high-stakes test can be overwhelming. Focused preparation helps students develop strategies to manage anxiety, approach questions calmly and hold up well under pressure. Practice exams in a realistic setting reduce stress and build test-day stamina.
