Selective entry in Perth
Western Australian students sit the academic selective entry test in Year 6, for entry to academic selective programmes from Year 7. It asks for four things: reading inference, multi-step quantitative reasoning, visual pattern reasoning, and written expression.
Classes run to a timetable, need travel and move at a fixed pace. A marked practice paper shows a tick or a cross, not the reasoning behind it. Korva is built to do the opposite: a child practises at home when it suits them, one question at a time, and every answer comes back with the reasoning attached.
Who we are
Software, not a tutoring service. There is no timetable, no travel and no fixed pace. A child practises when it suits them, one question at a time, and every answer comes back with the reasoning attached rather than a tick.
It covers the four things the paper asks for: reading inference, multi-step quantitative reasoning, visual pattern reasoning, and written expression.
Every question ships from a reviewed bank of 3,600+ that travels with the app — not improvised while your child waits. Each one passes a chain of automated checks before it can be served, and anything that fails is dropped rather than softened.
Visual pattern questions get a second pass: each puzzle is built from rules, its answer is re-derived from the picture itself, and the four answer pictures are drawn and compared so no two are the same. If the check does not land on the marked answer, the question is thrown away. That check exists because marking a wrong answer correct is the failure that would matter most.
The full method — the programme, the teaching approach and every check — is set out in our approach.
Privacy
A child is identified by a nickname they choose themselves — Korva does not ask a parent to type their real name. Written responses are deleted 24 hours after they are marked; the score, the feedback and the word count are kept so you can see progress.
The full detail is in the privacy policy, and it is written to be read rather than to be survived.
Independence
It is not a guarantee of a place, and nobody honest can sell you one. It is not a substitute for a teacher who knows your child. And it is not affiliated with the organisations that set or administer the test.
