Perth Scholarship Exam Dates

◂◂ SCHOLARSHIPS · PERTH DATES

Every Perth scholarship school we track, with the exam provider it uses, its application window, its test date and the year levels it offers. AAS sets no national test day — each school picks its own — so the Perth sittings spread across a fortnight, and applying to several schools means separate registrations, separate fees and separate mornings.

CHECK WITH THE SCHOOL BEFORE YOU RELY ON A DATE

Every row is checked against the school’s own scholarship page before the season and again during it, but schools move dates, change providers and reopen windows. The school’s page is the authoritative one; this table is a map, not a ticket. Where a school has not yet published a detail, the cell says to be confirmed rather than guessing.

THE SMALL GREY LINES ARE LAST YEAR’S DATES, NOT THIS YEAR’S

On 23 September 2026 most Perth schools had not yet published their 2028 dates. Where a row says to be confirmed, the grey line underneath gives the date that school used in its last round — so you can see roughly where in the calendar it sits while you wait. It is a planning hint and nothing more. Never diarise a grey line. We replace it with the real date the week the school publishes one.

† WHY TWO ROWS CARRY A PROVIDER WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN WRITING

All Saints’ and Penrhos are shown as AAS schools because that is what we understand them to set, but neither school names a provider on its own website, so we have not been able to show you the sentence. Both are worth a one-line email to the registrar before you buy any practice. Five more schools — Christ Church, Guildford, Hale, Mercedes and Scotch — publish an examination but name no provider at all, which is why their provider cell reads to be confirmed rather than a guess.

How to read it

PROVIDER FIRST, DATE SECOND

AAS Academic Assessment Services

The WA default: ten of the eighteen. One set of AAS-style preparation covers every AAS school on your list.

EDUTEST EduTest

One Perth school. A different paper with its own format and timing — see the EduTest page. Keep its practice separate from the AAS work, and note that St George’s runs a mid-year cycle: it closed applications in early June and tested in June last round, about four months after the AAS fortnight.

OWN PAPER School-set

The school writes its own exam. No commercial practice is built for it, including ours — ask the school what it covers.

ACER Not used in Perth

None of the eighteen. If the practice book in your hand says ACER on the cover, it is written for a paper your child will not sit here.

SEVERAL SCHOOLS, SEVERAL MORNINGS

Because there is no shared AAS test day, each school’s sitting is its own event: its own application, its own fee, its own morning. Three AAS schools means three exam mornings, usually inside the same February fortnight — for 2028 entry the dates published so far run Thursday 11, Saturday 13 and Saturday 20 February 2027. The preparation carries over completely between them — it is the same format each time — but a child’s stamina does not. Plan the fortnight, not just the first date, and leave the day between sittings alone.

Hear when it changes

ONE EMAIL WHEN THE TABLE IS UPDATED · NOTHING ELSE

Schools publish their dates at different times through the spring, and this table changes as they do. If you would like to know when it changes, email us with the schools you are looking at and we will send you the updated table as it firms up — and the AAS explainer if you have not read it yet.

That is the only thing we will send. No list you did not ask to join, no marketing, no tracking of whether you opened it. Reply stop at any point and that is the end of it.

SPOTTED A MISTAKE?

If a school’s page says something this table does not, the school is right. Tell us and we will fix the row, usually the same day.
