WHAT THE BOOSTER COVERS
Six sessions. Five focus areas. Everything examiners reward.
Each session is 3 hours. Scheduled on Saturdays in the weeks leading up to the exam. Interactive, targeted and expert-led.
Refining strategies
Test-taking strategies by question type
Approaching each section with accuracy, structure and efficiency. Children learn exactly how to tackle each question type, not through guesswork but through a clear, repeatable method.
Exam technique
Timed practice under real conditions
Students practise in real exam-style conditions to build familiarity with the test structure. The goal is that exam day feels familiar, not frightening.
Time management
Pacing strategies across all sections
Smart pacing so your child can confidently complete all sections within the allocated time, without rushing, second-guessing or running out of time on the sections that matter most.
Examiner’s notes
High-scoring samples reviewed in depth
Real feedback and model answers broken down so students clearly understand what examiners look for. Knowing the marking criteria is one of the most underused preparation advantages.
Question context
Critical thinking and reading between the lines
Training children to interpret complex scenarios, read between the lines and apply analytical thinking. A key skill for selective success that most preparation programs never teach explicitly.
OUR RECOMMENDATION
Enroll in Writers and Readers Club from Year 5. Add the Booster when the exam approaches.
The Selective Booster is a one-off program that runs alongside your child’s normal term. It is not a substitute for year-round skill building, it is the targeted exam preparation layer that sits on top of it.
Year 5 or earlier
Enrol in Writers and Readers Club
Start building the core skills your child needs — creative writing, reading comprehension, and critical thinking — from the very beginning of high school preparation.
Ongoing
Build skills every term
Consistent weekly practice across terms compounds into real ability. Skills like analysis, argument structure, and vocabulary don’t appear overnight — they’re grown systematically.
Exam year
Add the Selective Booster
When the selective exam is approaching, layer the Booster on top. It’s a targeted, intensive program designed to sharpen exam-specific technique without disrupting ongoing study.
Exam day
Prepared and confident
Your child walks into the exam having built the skills over years and sharpened them in the final stretch. That’s not luck — that’s preparation done right.
Enrol in Writers Club + Readers Club + Selective Booster. A 10% discount applies to any second FunFox program. And the Booster is complimentary with enrolment.
REAL RESULTS
What parents start noticing.
Real changes happen when structure meets encouragement.
“The booster sessions were unlike any other prep we’d tried. The focus on examiner expectations was particularly powerful, my son finally understood what ‘good’ actually looked like in the marker’s eyes. He got into his first choice school.”
Parent · Year 4 · NSW
“She used to run out of time consistently in practice tests. After the Selective Booster her pacing strategy was completely different. She finished every section on time in the actual exam and felt calm throughout.”
Parent · Year 4 · Sydney
“The critical thinking component of WA’s GATE exam is particularly challenging. The booster’s focus on reading between the lines and interpreting complex scenarios was exactly the preparation my daughter needed.”

The FunFox Selective Booster covers NSW (Selective High School Placement Test, Year 6), VIC (Selective Entry High School Test, Year 8) and WA (GATE exam). The skills covered, reading comprehension, analytical thinking, writing under pressure and exam technique, apply across all three exams. Our team will guide you on what’s most relevant for your state.
Sessions are scheduled on Saturdays in the weeks leading up to the exam. Each session is 3 hours long. We run 6 sessions in total, covering test-taking strategies, exam technique, time management, examiner expectations, and critical thinking. Your team will confirm exact dates when you enrol.
The Selective Booster is a one-off program that targets exam-specific strategy and technique. The real literacy foundation, reading comprehension, writing skills, analytical thinking, is built through Writers Club and Readers Club over time. We strongly recommend enrolling in both programs from Year 5 or earlier. The booster is most effective when your child already has strong literacy foundations to build on.
Yes. The Selective Booster is a complimentary add-on for any family already enrolled in a FunFox program. The $800 fee applies to families enrolling in the Selective Booster as a standalone program.
Tutoring centres typically drill past papers and question types. The FunFox Selective Booster goes deeper, teaching children the strategy behind each question type, the examiner’s perspective on what earns marks, and the analytical thinking habits that make unfamiliar questions approachable. The six sessions are interactive and expert-led, not passive practice.
Six sessions. The exam-specific preparation your child needs.
