Course detailsOpportunity Class Trial Test Course (OCTTC)
Preparation for the OC Placement Test — a paper sat under exam conditions every week, reviewed in the same session, with a result sheet showing exactly where the marks went.
The OCTTC helps students make real progress and build confidence for success in their OC Placement Test, and has been shown to be a significant factor in ensuring success. The course is unique in that it lets students practise exam-style questions under exam conditions. While the answer sheets are being marked, teachers review the entire paper with particular focus on the difficult questions, explaining each one thoroughly, step by step. Students receive their individual results at the end of the session as a record of their performance.
It will help your child manage time efficiently, minimise errors, overcome exam nerves and perform at their best under examination conditions.
The Opportunity Class Placement Test is computer-based and comprises three test sections, with all questions presented in multiple-choice format.
| Test component | No. of questions | Time | Weighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading | 14 (3 questions have multiple parts to answer) | 40 minutes | 33.3% |
| Mathematical Reasoning | 35 | 40 minutes | 33.3% |
| Thinking Skills | 30 | 30 minutes | 33.3% |
