VACE Discovery · Classes 6–10 · Pilot
An aptitude test to help you plan your next step.
Find what you do well, what needs practice and what you enjoy. Try age-appropriate reasoning, science and maths questions, then get a personal report to discuss with your parent or teacher.
40 minutes for Classes 6–7 · 55 minutes for Classes 8–10 · No negative marking
Plus an untimed interests reflection. A student account is needed to save your progress and report.
Why take an aptitude test?
You do not need to have your future figured out. This test gives you a starting point: see how you approach unfamiliar problems, where your current understanding is stronger and what to work on next.
For parents: use the report to ask better questions and support learning—not to label your child or decide their career from one test.
What you get after the test
- Your strengths and practice areas
- Feedback on reasoning, maths and science from the questions you attempt. Unanswered areas are marked as limited evidence, not a weakness.
- Your interests and next steps
- A separate look at what you enjoy, ideas to explore and a four-week learning plan.
- A report you can keep
- Download a PDF, review answer explanations and discuss your next steps with your parent or teacher.
