Who Is This Program For?

Our OC Exam Preparation program is ideal for:

OC Test Structure

The Opportunity Class (OC) Placement Test is divided into three timed sections, each designed to assess a different set of skills. All sections are multiple-choice and must be completed under strict time limits, making preparation and strategy essential.

Each section is equally important and contributes to the overall assessment of a student’s suitability for Opportunity Class placement.

Reading Skills (Part 1)

This section assesses reading comprehension, vocabulary in context, and a student’s ability to understand both literal and inferred meanings from a text.

Mathematical Reasoning (Part 2)

Focuses on logical thinking, number patterns, problem-solving, and applying mathematical concepts to unfamiliar situations.

Thinking Skills (Part 3)

Evaluates critical thinking through spatial reasoning, logical reasoning, and pattern recognition across visual, numerical, and word-based problems.

How Concept Mastery Helps in OC Exam Preparation

Practice and Familiarization
Practice & Exam Familiarisation

Concept Mastery provides structured practice that closely mirrors the NSW Opportunity Class (OC) Placement Test. Students work through OC-style questions across Reading Skills, Mathematical Reasoning, and Thinking Skills under timed conditions. This regular exposure helps students become comfortable with the exam format, reduce test anxiety, and develop effective pacing strategies essential for success.

Skill Development
Strong Concept Development

The OC exam is not about rote learning — it tests how well students think. Our concept-first approach ensures students fully understand core ideas before applying them to complex and unfamiliar questions. From advanced comprehension strategies to logical number reasoning and visual patterns, we build strong foundations that allow students to tackle higher-order OC questions with confidence.

Practice and Familiarization
Targeted Skill Building Across All OC Sections

Our preparation program focuses on the exact skills assessed in the OC test:

Reading Skills: Deep comprehension, vocabulary in context, inference, and critical analysis

Mathematical Reasoning: Problem-solving, patterns, logical thinking, and non-routine questions

Thinking Skills: Spatial reasoning, logical sequences, and abstract pattern recognition

This targeted approach helps students strengthen weaker areas while extending their strengths.

Personalized Support
Personalised Support & Individual Attention

Every child learns differently. We begin with an initial assessment to understand each student’s current level and learning needs. Based on this, we create a personalised study plan and provide one-to-one or small group online sessions. Tutors offer individual feedback, clarify misconceptions, and guide students with strategies tailored to their learning style.

Resource Accessibility
Exam Strategy & Time Management Training

Success in the OC exam depends on both accuracy and speed. Our program teaches students proven test-taking strategies such as question prioritisation, eliminating incorrect options, managing time under pressure, and staying focused during the exam. These skills help students maximise their performance on test day.

Test-Taking Techniques
Flexible & Accessible Learning

Our interactive online classes allow students to learn from the comfort of home, with structured weekly sessions and guided practice. Learning resources and assignments are designed to fit smoothly into school schedules, ensuring consistent preparation without burnout.

At Concept Mastery, we offer complete, end-to-end OC exam preparation — combining deep conceptual learning, realistic practice, personalised guidance, and strategic exam coaching. Our goal is not only to help students secure Opportunity Class placement, but also to develop confident, independent thinkers ready for advanced academic challenges.
