Our Writing mocks cover every rubric criterion tested in the 2026 NSW Selective exam. Use this list to identify strengths and target practice.
The 2026 Selective Writing test presents a unique challenge: you have exactly 30 minutes to interpret an unseen prompt, plan a response, type it out, and edit it—all on a digital Janison-style platform. It heavily penalises pre-memorised essays and rewards students who can think on their feet, adapt to visual or text-based stimuli, and execute complex sentence structures on a keyboard.
Our mock tests train you in the crucial "5-Minute Plan" method, teaching you how to brainstorm effectively before your hands hit the keys. You will practice with the exact same split-screen interface you'll see on exam day, ensuring that typing under pressure becomes second nature. Whether the prompt demands a persuasive argument about a modern issue or a creative narrative inspired by a single image, you'll learn the structural formulas to consistently hit top-band marks.
Track your progress by reviewing your typed responses against our comprehensive Selective marking rubrics. See where you need to elevate your vocabulary, fix paragraph cohesion, or inject more persuasive devices. With 20 full-length prompts, you can build the typing stamina and creative confidence needed for the real exam.
