Prepare

Sample questions are provided by ACER and can be found in the Candidate Information Booklet which is available for free from this website. The sample questions will provide candidates with an understanding of the content, style and structure of the assessment.

It is recommended that you attempt these questions to identify areas needing development, then continue practising to improve your results. You may choose to complete the sample questions several times to become familiar with the types of questions you will encounter in the QPS Entrance Assessment. It is also a good idea to time yourself so you become familiar with time constraints.

ONLINE PRACTICE TESTS

ACER provides online practice tests for the following five (5) components of the QPS Entrance Assessment:

  • Literacy
  • Writing 
  • Numeracy
  • Abstract Reasoning
  • Digital Literacy

Online Practice Tests can be purchased individually or as a set at the time of registration, or after you have completed your exam booking. These practice tests are only available to eligible candidates who book to sit the QPS Entrance Assessment.

The Online Practice Tests includes one sample test for each component. These tests match the display and computer functionality experienced in the QPS Entrance Assessment.

The Literacy, Numeracy, Digital Literacy and Abstract Reasoning practice tests provide scored, timed test experiences with questions similar in design and difficulty to those included in the QPS Entrance Assessment.

The Writing practice test is unscored. You will be presented with a report topic and be asked to type your answer in the same way as the exam day, however no personalised marking will be provided and a sample report will be displayed for your reference.

Multiple attempts are permitted, however the tests contain one set of questions only.
