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.
Science and Digital Technologies follow the tasks of the official ICAS framework, every answer computed by code from what the question shows.
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.
Which ICAS subjects are here?
Mathematics and English, Science, and Digital Technologies, for Years 4 to 6, each as its own program with its own free diagnostic: choose it on the registration page. Writing and Spelling Bee are not on the site.
