Queensland Academies — QASMT: frequently asked
Is QASMT a selective school?
Yes — Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology (QASMT, Toowong) is Queensland's flagship fully selective school, with Year 7 entry and an IB pathway. QACI (Creative Industries) and QAHS (Health Sciences) join at Year 10.
How does QASMT select students?
Selection is holistic: an EduTest® entrance exam, plus NAPLAN results, school reports and an interview for shortlisted applicants. It is not the test score alone.
Do NAPLAN results matter for Queensland selective entry?
Yes. QLD is the state where 'your NAPLAN results count toward selective entry' is literally true — NAPLAN is part of the QASMT selection criteria. A strong Year 5 NAPLAN result genuinely helps.
When do Year 7 applications close?
Applications typically close in mid-to-late August, roughly a year before entry, lodged during Year 5 — the 2027-entry window closed in August 2026. Dates shift annually, so verify the exact date for the current cycle with Queensland Academies before you rely on it.
