What these numbers mean

The GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) exam, formally the Academic Selective Entrance Test (ASET), is sat by Year 6 students across Western Australia each March. Only around 30% of students pass, making it one of the most competitive tests in the state.

In 2026, 91% of AsetPrep students passed, up from 86% in 2025, so our students were around 3x more likely to pass than the average candidate.

Our average student scored 254. The Department of Education's published cut-off for Perth Modern School's 2027 Year 7 intake was 247.09, so the typical AsetPrep student scored high enough for WA's only fully selective public school. Other popular selective programs include Shenton College, Rossmoyne SHS and Willetton SHS.

In Writing, AsetPrep students achieved 85.58, the maximum standardised mark and equal first in Western Australia.

AsetPrep is independent and not affiliated with the WA Department of Education.
