Frequently Asked Questions

Everything parents ask about NSW exams — answered clearly.

How is SEAL different from VIC Selective Entry?

SEAL is offered at 30+ government schools and entry is at Year 7. VIC Selective Entry is for the 4 fully selective schools (Mac.Rob, Melbourne High, Nossal, Suzanne Cory) with entry at Year 9. They use different tests.

What does 'accelerated' mean in SEAL?

SEAL students complete the Years 7–10 curriculum in three years instead of four, then begin VCE subjects in Year 10 — giving them an extra year for VCE preparation.

Do all SEAL schools use the same test?

No. While many use ACER-style cognitive ability tests, individual schools may have slightly different selection processes. Contact your target school directly.

How competitive is SEAL entry?

Competition varies by school. Popular SEAL schools like Balwyn and McKinnon receive hundreds of applications for limited places.
