Entrance exams

Do SEAL students have to be in the school’s catchment area to sit the exam?

Yes, in metropolitan and larger regional schools where there are state school zones. It is not necessary in cases where there is only one state secondary school in town.

Who runs the exams?

Schools use either EduTest or HAST - Higher Ability Selection Test (administered by ACER).

What is the cost to sit the exam?

It costs about $95 for students to sit the exams. Some schools may offer a small subsidy and look with compassion where there is disadvantage and generally reach an agreement with the parents so that students are able to sit.
