Some of the key features include a range of question types, onscreen tools, timers, and interactive navigation. Students are encouraged to try all the tests for their year level to practice the complete range of question formats available.  

Students with a disability

A student with a disability can undertake the demonstration tests at their school, using the device they are familiar with, to determine whether they can access the platform and which disability adjustment codes (DACs) could support their participation. All test items are keyboard accessible. Disability adjustments can be determined on a case-by-case basis by a school, together with a parent/carer, student, and where appropriate utilise tests that meet the needs of a student.
