ACER has been writing exam
papers for over forty years. They are the predominant company for
scholarship exams. They have several different
tests.
Types of ACER scholarship
exams pertaining to Victoria
are
Primary School program
(PSP) format
As the name suggests, this is testing of
Primary school students in Years 3, 4 or 5 for scholarships
which begin in years 4 , 5 or 6. It is generally held in May
but schools can request alternate dates.
Scholarship Selection
Tests (SST) & Co-operative Scholarship Testing
Program (CSTP)
The only difference between these exams is
the timing. A SST exam is written for only one school. So three SST
schools mean three exams. The CSTP test is one set of papers sat in
May when results are shared between schools that parents
select.
ACER produce three levels of scholarship
tests. The level is dependent on the year level the student is in
at the time of sitting the exam. Please note that our descriptions
are based on the Victorian school system The SST exams are
generally conducted from mid February to mid March each
year.
