Melbourne Grammar scholarship test practice
Melbourne Grammar's scholarship test is set by Academic Assessment Services (AAS). Many prep guides still say ACER; the school's own application now runs through AAS. Its exam for Year 7 entry is sat earlier than most schools' tests, so check the sitting year on the school's page.

The paper
What the AAS paper asks
Mathematics
40 questions in 40 minutes. Up to five options, no calculator.
General Reasoning
60 questions in 40 minutes: verbal, figural and spatial. Fast: about 40 seconds each.
Reading Comprehension
40 questions in 40 minutes: six texts, including poetry and advertising.
Question counts are estimates. AAS publishes a 40–50 minute limit for each test and no per-section question count, so the counts above, and the mix within each section, come from sample papers rather than from AAS.
