OC Mastery is the weekly class for Year 3 and Year 4 students preparing for the NSW Opportunity Class Placement Test. Each session runs for three and a half hours in a small group, in Parramatta or online. The class times, class size and term price are on the Class Schedule at the bottom of this page.
What a session covers
The OC test has three components, and the class covers all three: Reading, Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills. There is no writing paper in the OC test, so the class does not teach one.
- Odd weeks: Reading and Mathematical Reasoning
- Even weeks: Thinking Skills, then a Mastery Test
The Mastery Test is built from the question types that student has been getting wrong, so the second test of an even week is aimed at their own weak spots rather than at the class as a whole.
How a session runs
- Students log in and settle in the testing lab.
- Two fresh timed tests are sat under exam conditions.
- During the snack break, tutors read the live analytics and print a personalised booklet for each student showing what they chose, what was correct, and how long they spent on each question.
- The rest of the session is an interactive review on the whiteboard, worked through from those booklets.
What is included
- The weekly class, all printed materials and weekly homework
- A personalised printed booklet every session, kept by the student
- Full OC mock tests on the Test Academy platform
- LearningHub, for targeted skill practice between sessions
- The Student Forum, where tutors answer questions between classes
- The parent dashboard, with analytics and school entry projections
- A parent and tutor consultation at the end of each term
