RiSE+ ICAS-style online practice tests

Authentic ICAS-style practice from the creators of the competition

RiSE+ ICAS-style online practice tests are created by the same assessment writers who write the competition questions every year.

These interactive online practice tests are delivered on the same platform as ICAS, helping your child become familiar with the test-day experience and preparing them for the competition.

Help your child prepare for ICAS – Years 2 to 7

RiSE+ ICAS-style online practice tests are specifically designed to help your child prepare for competition day. They’re available for Australian students from Years 2 to 7.

Receive immediate, actionable results along with your child’s strengths and weaknesses, so they know where to improve.

Have your child practise interactive online questions like drag & drops, text entries and more that reflect the ICAS-style.

Get your child familiar with the ICAS environment, which is hosted on the exact same assessment platform.

Encourage your child to re-sit the tests as many times as they need, to refine their practice for test day.

Engaging, interactive questions on the same platform as ICAS

English tasks that test the core competencies for the subject

Allow your child to revisit and improve their vocabulary, spelling and other vital skills for English.

Maths questions that assess the same learning areas as ICAS

Help your child brush up on their key mathematics skills, including numbers, patterns, geometry and more.

ICAS-style online practice tests for Maths & English

These practice tests are available for the two key foundational subjects, helping to sharpen your child’s ICAS preparation for these subjects, and giving them experience of the test platform for all others.

ICAS English practice

The English practice tests are designed to assess the following learning areas, which reflect those in ICAS English:

Text Comprehension
Writer’s Craft
Syntax
Vocabulary
Spelling

ICAS Maths practice

These tests focus on the key learning areas for ICAS Mathematics, allowing your child to hone their numeracy skills:

Number & Arithmetic
Algebra & Patterns
Measures & Units
Space & Geometry
Chance & Data

Great resource. Focus tests and ICAS-style tests means we're able to work on each skill individually once a weakness is identified.

Doing the questions online helps prepare for the actual competition scenario.

It's a great way to assess where your child stands in academics.

Frequently asked questions

For more FAQs, please visit the RiSE+ help centre.

How many times can my child sit the test?

As many times as they want! We offer unlimited re-sits for every test.

How do these tests differ from ICAS past papers?

RiSE+ ICAS-style practice tests are based online using the same test environment as ICAS itself, which helps your child become familiar with it. By contrast, past papers are downloadable PDF documents made up of questions and answer sheets.

The same assessment frameworks are used for the questions in both RiSE+ ICAS-style practice tests and ICAS past papers, so both will help your child prepare for the competition.

Does RiSE+ offer tests for other subjects, like Science?

RiSE+ offers two Science ICAS past papers practice tests as part of the Year 2 ICAS practice pack. We are working on making Science available for other year levels in the future. We also offer one General Abilities test in both the Standard and Premium subscriptions. View our products and pricing here.
