Common questions
What is the Cooperative Scholarship Testing Program?
CSTP lets students sit one ACER test on a designated Saturday and share results across multiple participating schools. Other schools run their own scholarship dates with alternative ACER tests where results are not shared.
Which schools use ACER?
Many of Australia's leading independent schools, including members of GPS and AGSV associations. Each school chooses its own test date and scholarship conditions.
How is the test structured?
For Level 1 (Year 7-8 entry): two Written Expression tasks (25 minutes each, different writing styles), Humanities reading comprehension (40 minutes), and Mathematics (40 minutes). Total testing time around two and a half hours including breaks.
