School Entry Test Preparation in Northern Territory

Prepare for the requirements of the school you are applying to.

Prepare for the requirements of the school you are applying to.

Begin with the exact entry pathway

Tell us the school, entry year and published assessment requirements. School entry and selective admission processes differ between schools and jurisdictions, so preparation starts with the official information for your target pathway in Northern Territory.

Understand the task

Identify the skills and assessment format listed by the target school or official provider.

Build the foundations

Practise relevant reading, writing, numeracy or reasoning skills. Ask about a focused school entry test learning plan.

Review your approach

Work through an attempt, explain your choices and identify what needs more practice before introducing timing.

Your education system, in brief

Northern Territory Board of Studies and the SACE Board

The NTCET is the Northern Territory’s senior secondary qualification. It uses the SACE framework with requirements specific to the Territory. Stage 1 and Stage 2 subject planning should be checked against the student’s NTCET pathway, rather than assuming every South Australian completion rule applies.

Senior qualification

Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET)

Bring your school’s NTCET course plan and the relevant subject outline. We focus on the subject knowledge, assessment tasks and revision priorities that fit your selected pathway.

A starting point that fits

Choose a program and share the learner’s stage and goals. We discuss the learning focus, suitable tutor availability and the next step before you commit.
