Test Champs was an amazing tool that made understanding tough concepts in Methods ATAR easier. It was a great way for me to ask questions from past exam papers to difficult textbook questions. Getting detailed one on one teaching about the ways I could solve similar problems that would come up frequently in tests and atar exams. Test champs have amazing past test papers which improved my ability in working under timed conditions.

Please note Test Champs is their new business name.For us it was a waste of money and time to enrol our child. My child didn't learn anything significant for GATE and didn't enjoy the coaching either. The teachers do not provide any feedback on the marked work, its either right (tick) or wrong (cross) on the weekly assessment sheets.They assessed my child initially and offered a customised program, however, their final assessment included questions which were not covered in the coaching classes and the child was not taught enough of the material to attempt those.I am leaving an honest review as the current Google reviews are overexaggerated and were misleading for us.

I took my twin boys to Scholastic Excellence throughout 2021. This was a very important step in their preparation for GATE test this year. Kids really enjoyed the experience and always told me how much they liked the teachers in English and Math. I could see that the admin staff also looked after the kids very well. Without Scholastic Excellence, the twin boys wouldn't have achieved what they achieved this year, namely both accepted by Rossmoyne SHS GATE program. I would strongly encourage parents to take their kids to Scholastic Excellence, with or without having GATE in mind.

Atrociously lazy marking. They can’t even follow their own marking key for multiple choice tests.
Just found 8 marking errors in a single 35 question test. And still have half the test to review.
Don’t waste my time and money on this sham!

I’m extremely thankful to Mr Yap and Scholastic Excellence for providing the best tutoring service. The detailed notes combined with the quizzes before each test and all the practice questions from different exams have certainly helped me so much throughout my last two years of high school. Mr Yap is an amazing tutor in areas of mathematics, physics and chemistry and I always walk out of his class feeling confident for any upcoming assessments. I can’t express my gratitude enough for Mr Yap and would highly recommend Scholastic Excellence to all the students out there!

I highly recommend joining if you are struggling or wanting to gain further understanding in Maths Methods/Specialist, Chemistry etc. Once again thank you for everything.

Scholastic Excellence has been an extremely beneficial tutoring and education provider for my child. The program is tailored to both ends of the spectrum, those students requiring catch up as well as those requiring extension to continue to extend and challenge those gifted and talented children. We have enrolled in holiday intensive programs as well as term programs and the results have been significant in achieving results. The program provides recognition and reward for students thereby providing further motivation for them to ensure their success. I can not recommend Scholastic Excellence highly enough for those parents wanting to ensure success for their children’s education and seeing the results speak for themselves.

To Serena and her team, thank you very much. Her dedication, support and reassurance has been crucial in ensuring my childrens success and also in keeping my sanity😊.
My children owe a lot to scholastic excellence. All three if them were blessed to get into PEAC and GATE schools and did extremely well in all their NAPLAN exams.
From all the extra work given by scholastis, my children have also performed very well in the Australian Maths Competition, getting distinctions and high distinctions.
Currently my oldest has graduated from Perth Modern and my younger two are in Rossmoyne Senior High School.
So thank you Scholastic Excellence. God bless each one of you. ❤
