How should my son prepare for his assessment?
It is best if your son arrives with an open mind, ready to respond to new ideas and challenges. He will participate in a busy day of activities that will demonstrate his potential in different areas. His ability to manipulate numbers, work with texts, think creatively, solve puzzles and interact in a group situation, are all part of the assessment process.

Are sample exam papers available?
Yes, but please read the advice below. Past papers are only available for Year 7 entry and can be found in the Past Entrance Exam Papers page on our website. We realise that sitting any entrance examination is a daunting task for a child, and MGS papers are designed to challenge the mind of any child (and parent) attempting them.
