Secure Year 7 SEAL Accelerated High School Entry in Victoria

Over 40 top Victorian government secondary colleges offer Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL). Give your Year 6 child the competitive edge with authentic 30-minute rapid-fire practice questions and diagnostic benchmark scoring.

The Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) program is Victoria's premier accelerated education pathway within state secondary schools. SEAL academies allow academically gifted students to complete Years 7 to 10 in three years rather than four, giving them access to advanced VCE subjects, university extension studies, and early ATAR optimisation. Prominent Victorian SEAL schools including Balwyn High School, Box Hill High School, University High School, and Glen Waverley Secondary College test thousands of Year 6 applicants annually for approximately 25 to 50 places per school. Tests are primarily administered by EduTest or ACER in May and June of Year 6, covering Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, and Writing.
