For students in Year 9 now, Year 10 in 2027
A full practice run of the exam your child will actually sit, under the conditions they will sit it in: a real venue, a real timetable, and the papers back to back in one morning.
It is the same morning for everyone sitting this exam, which is what makes the report at the end mean something.
A report by email once marking is done: your child's score on every paper, and where that sits against everyone else who sat this exam with us that morning. For some exams, where we have enough past results, it also shows where earlier Big Brain students who went on to be shortlisted sat. Writing is marked by hand.
Your family's first in-person mock with us is free. After that a seat is $65, or $55 if you are a Big Brain member, plus a small card fee. You can also use a mock credit instead. Sign in and the price box on this page shows exactly what you will pay.
This one is for students in Year 9 now (Year 10 in 2027) sitting the JMSS Year 11 entry exam. Four exams run the same morning in the same room, one for each entry exam. Pick the one your child is sitting next year.
Monash University Clayton. We will email the building and room the week before. Parking on campus is free on weekends.
The exam room is for students only. Drop your child off from 9:40 am and collect them from 1:05 pm.
Yes. You make one when you book, and it is free. It is how we know whether this is your first mock, and it is where the report lives afterwards.
Cancel from your events page up to 24 hours before the start and you get your money or credit back. A cancelled free seat does not count, so your next one is still free. Closer to the day, reply to your confirmation email. A seat booked and not used does count as your free one, so please cancel if you can't come.
