What is trained here
Mathematics families are re-tiered by paper level from the official answer keys, so a Year 4 child meets Paper B's ramp, not Paper D's.
English questions sit on passages written for this site: reading, the writer's craft, syntax and vocabulary.
The results page names the category behind every miss; the plan gates Credit, Distinction and High Distinction on the bands they need.
A mock a week on the real clock, and a report to you every Sunday.
Marked by code; every verdict names its question. The one thing an AI reads is a writing piece, to score it on the official rubric.

Questions parents ask
Is this the official ICAS practice?
No. This site is independent of ICAS Assessments and of UNSW Global; the official practice tests are sold by them. This is the training between the tests.
Which year levels?
Years 4, 5 and 6 today. Year 3 ICAS is being built and is not sold before it is on the site.
