“I've had a great experience with Lee Excellence Mansfield. The tutors are really patient and take the time to explain things properly, which made a big difference for my child's confidence and results. You can tell they genuinely care about the students.”

Scholarship Exam Preparation
The selective school entry exam is not like the school curriculum. Our program teaches the question formats, time pressure, and reasoning strategies that EduTest and ACER actually test.

“Honestly, if I could I would give this lovely place a 10/10!! Words cannot explain how much the lovely tutors helped my kids. The tutors have provided them with long term guidance and mentorship and of course, honed their educational ability.”
M L“Great tutor with real experience. My son has impressively improved in little time. I tried so many tutors (more than 10) around Brisbane but Lee classes are the best so far. Thank you.”

How the program runs
Weekly 2-hour classes across Year 4, 5, and 6. Designed as a progression: students typically start in Year 5 or earlier and build toward the exams they sit late in Year 6 for Year 7 entry.
Each session combines instruction on test formats (verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, reading comprehension, written expression) with timed practice. Detailed individual feedback on written pieces is returned weekly.
Who it's for
- Year 4–6 students targeting Queensland Academies (QASMT, QAHS, QACI)
- Students applying for BSHS, Brisbane State High School entry
- Applicants for Brisbane Grammar, Somerville House, and other private schools offering scholarship exams

How it's taught
Scholarship exams reward practised technique more than raw knowledge. Our program is built around format familiarity, time management, and the specific reasoning patterns EduTest and ACER use.
01
Format-specific practice
Separate tracks cover verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, reading comprehension, and written expression, the four pillars of both exams.
02
Timed mock exams
Regular timed sections mimicking real exam conditions build the stamina and pacing students need on the day.
03
Individual written feedback
Written expression tasks are marked individually with targeted feedback, which is the highest-leverage area for most students.
04
Technique over content
We focus on reasoning strategies and the subtle question patterns these exams favour. Content knowledge matters less than pattern recognition.
What's included
- QASMT, BSHS & private school targets
- EduTest and ACER formats
- Timed mock exams
- Individual written feedback
- Year-by-year progression
