About Nossal
Nossal High School is the co-educational selective school in Berwick, serving Melbourne's south-east. Year 10 and Year 11 entry is an Edutest paper, sat mid-2027 for 2028 entry. JT Education's Nossal tutoring teaches that paper in the same classes as Melbourne High, Mac.Robertson and Suzanne Cory.
The paper we teach
Nossal's Year 10 and Year 11 entrance exam is Edutest: numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, reading comprehension and mathematics (30 minutes each), plus a 15-minute written expression task. It is the same selective paper as Mac.Robertson, Suzanne Cory and Melbourne High (Year 10). There is no preference list: you submit a separate application to each school, and the school you register with first is where you sit. The Year 9 round is ACER, which we do not teach.

Edutest
The entrance exam paper
Numerical reasoning (30 min)
Patterns, ratios and data under a tight clock. The mark comes from spotting structure quickly.
Verbal reasoning (30 min)
Analogies, word relationships and deduction in language. Breadth of reading matters more than a word list.
Reading comprehension (30 min)
Unseen passages: inference, tone, and the evidence behind each answer.
Mathematics (30 min)
Fluency across arithmetic, algebra, geometry and worded problems, at the level a selective school assumes.
Written expression (15 min)
One short timed piece judged on structure, clarity and control. Fifteen minutes leaves no room to draft twice. Scholar and Accelerator both include 4 human-marked writing tasks a month.
Nossal tutoring
Nossal tutoring is the three-subject selective program: Maths, Science and English each week, an applied session capped at 6, and Big Brain practice included in the fee. Scholar is $646 a month and Accelerator is $896 a month, billed every 4 weeks. Start with a free trial for 2028 entry on the form below.
