Frequently Asked Questions

Everything parents ask about NSW exams — answered clearly.

How is PEAC different from GATE?

PEAC is for primary school students (Years 4–6) and operates as a withdrawal program at PEAC centres. GATE/ASET is for Year 6 students applying for Year 7 entry at secondary schools like Perth Modern.

How are students selected for PEAC?

Students are typically nominated by their class teacher, then sit a cognitive ability assessment. The process combines teacher observation with standardised testing.

Can parents nominate their child?

The primary nomination pathway is through the class teacher. However, parents can discuss their child's abilities with the teacher to support a nomination.

What happens during PEAC sessions?

Students attend weekly sessions at a PEAC centre where they participate in enrichment activities, problem-solving challenges, and extension projects across various disciplines.
