Any parents know about this Australian Apitude Test?

How to well prepare for this test?

Where can I find some sample papers for reference?

Straight to the point, LPCUWC will use this test to evaluate the applicants at F4 or G10 level, as applicants are not sit for HKCEE, they are either sit for HKDSE or Pre-IB, no more HKCEE results as reference.

We got some bulletin explained the test with a few examples only. We only know the test may be used to assess gifted or higher learning ability students.

My son is very comfortable about the tests - Reading Comprehension, Written Expression, Maths and Reasoning, not me

Pls help???

My son sit for the test on Sat, supposed the first batch in the morning.

Rough estimation, more girls than boys, some foreign students as well.

The papers are very tough, reading comprehension with so many new vocabularies; written expression - "Is it too much social expectation for growing kids?"; 40 min 30 questions for maths with many science applications, and abstract reasoning also need high speed. My son and his friends' comments are tough tests and you must be very quick, if not you are not way can finish all questions.

For age 15~16, it's difficult. I can't do it at that age either.

Thanks for your unselfish sharing.
That's very kind of you.
Would you mind telling me how they selected the students to attend the challenge day? through the HAST only? do the school academic result being considered too? and could you please tell me the level of the test? is it F3/4 or F5/6 level? is it very difficult?
I'm sorry if I ask too many questions.
But I'd like to know all about this.
Thanks for your help.
and I apologize for causing you any inconvenience. :)

Quick comments on your questions:

Would you mind telling me how they selected the students to attend the challenge day? (You can visit LPCUWC's website, detail admission procedure listed. You can also see my another post related to Challenge Day.) through the HAST only? (From this year, yes.) do the school academic result being considered too? (Yes, partial. They also need the recommendation from Principal with predicted grades. You can see the form from the website. Some Principals won't recommend their students, LPC suggest you to find some person to recommend your kid.) and could you please tell me the level of the test? is it F3/4 or F5/6 level? (It's an apitude test, not academic test. You can't revise any text books.)is it very difficult? (Yes.)
