• St Michael's Catholic Grammar School Year 7 entrance test

  School-specific assessment · The current September 2027 policy does not name an external test provider. · In-person at St Michael's Catholic Grammar School on the invited test date. English is a written paper; Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics are multiple-choice papers according to the school's admissions page.

  The policy says all applicants who sit the four tests are ranked from highest score, but it does not state the score-combination weights or identify a fixed qualifying score. Admission is by published oversubscription criteria, including the policy's stated top-175 ranking condition for specified priority categories and PAN 128. When tied applicants cannot all be admitted within a criterion, tie-breaks use Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English, Mathematics, then home-to-school distance. A test result or rank does not guarantee an offer.
