Ready for OC and Selective, one section at a time.
A family of teachers in Baulkham Hills, teaching Thinking Skills and Maths to Years 3 to 6 in classes of 8 to 12.

Question 1
Worked solution
Five boys averaging 167 cm stand 835 cm altogether, and the first four account for 648 cm, so the fifth is 187 cm. Answering 172 cm adds the 5 cm rise to 167 just once and forgets that the newcomer has to lift the other four boys as well.
This tests Averages and spread, part of Mathematical Reasoning. The answer is E.

- Logic sequencing with tables and graphic lists
The test itself
- Familiarity through mock tests
- Time management, and maximising marks
- Managing stress
- Self-esteem, independence and mastery
Two programs
One for each test. Every program covers both Thinking Skills and Mathematical Reasoning.
Selective Test Preparation
Closely aligned with the OC test, the Selective test is more challenging in scope and depth. Elite prepares students for its Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills sections.
See the Selective paper Years 3 and 4OC Test Preparation
Elite prepares students for the Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills sections of the OC test, each a third of the score and sat on computer.

“Our son was successfully offered a place at James Ruse, and our daughter is currently on the reserve list for James Ruse and has also received an offer from North Sydney Girls.”
“After every class, targeted homework on the learned topic is assigned to help kids master the knowledge solidly, and the teachers will send the wrong answers from the homework to parents via email, making it easy for kids to review and truly understand their mistakes.”
“He is such a dedicated and caring educator who genuinely cares about his students. Not only has he helped improve our child’s academic results, but more importantly, he has inspired our child to develop a genuine passion for TS and Maths.”
“Rex from Elite is an excellent teacher. He is very professional and knowledgeable, and his teaching covers a wide range of skills and techniques. What I especially appreciate is how caring and attentive he is towards his students.”
