Questions, answered

Xametric is an academic preparation platform for students in New Zealand and Australia. It provides exam-style courses with clear worked solutions, designed for students preparing for ICAS, academic competitions and scholarship-style assessments.

Xametric is built for ambitious students roughly aged 10 to 17, and the parents supporting them. It suits students preparing for ICAS, those doing extension work beyond the classroom, and anyone building stronger reasoning and problem-solving skills.

No. Xametric runs entirely in your web browser on a computer, tablet or phone — there is nothing to download or install.

ICAS is a well-known series of academic assessments sat by students across several subjects, including English, Mathematics and Science. Xametric helps students prepare for ICAS-style assessments with realistic practice questions.

Xametric covers English, Mathematics and Science, with courses across multiple year levels so students can practise at the level that matches the assessment they are preparing for.

Each course corresponds to a paper level. Australian and New Zealand year levels for the same paper differ by one year — so the year level shown for each course reflects the region you are in. When choosing a course, check the year level shown to make sure it matches your student.

Yes. While the courses are ICAS-style, the reasoning and problem-solving skills they build also support preparation for selective-entry tests, scholarship-style assessments and academic competitions.

No. Xametric is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by ICAS, Janison or UNSW Global (ICAS is their trademark). Xametric provides original, ICAS-style practice.

Papers E–I, roughly Years 7–11 in Australia; New Zealand is one year higher.

Xametric offers three plans: a single-course plan, a Year Level plan covering all three subjects for one year level, and an All-Access plan covering every course. Current pricing is shown on the pricing page in your local currency.

All Xametric plans are monthly subscriptions, billed on a recurring basis.

Yes. You can cancel at any time from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.

When a subscription ends, access to the paid courses pauses. Your account remains, and you can resubscribe at any time.

Yes. You can move between plans as your preparation needs change — for example, upgrading to All-Access as more assessments approach.

Single courses start at $5 AUD because it’s software, not print — once a course exists, more students can practise at no extra cost.

Each course contains a large set of exam-style questions, every one with a clear worked solution that shows how to approach the problem — not just the final answer.

They teach. Each worked solution explains the approach behind the question — the concept it tests, the steps to the answer, and a strategy tip pointing out how to handle similar questions or where students often slip up. The goal is for a student to come away able to solve the next question on their own.

The free preview lets you and your student try sample questions and worked solutions before subscribing, so you can judge the quality of the practice first. It is available once you create a free account.

Xametric works best as a steady, regular practice routine: choosing a course, working through questions, and reviewing the worked solutions to understand any mistakes. Consistent practice over time builds both skill and confidence.

A paper is a one-off you sit once and mark yourself. Xametric is a full course where every question has a worked solution and a strategy tip — so students learn the method, not just whether they were right — plus timed mock exams, progress tracking and a Revisit set, practised until mastered.

With a subscription, each course shows accuracy by topic and difficulty, coverage, and recent mock scores, building as your student practises.

Yes — every wrong answer is saved to Revisit to attempt again until it’s right.

Each course includes timed mock exams; the timer runs automatically and submits when time is up, then you get an indicative band and a full worked-solution review. (Indicative only — not an official ICAS result.)

You can create a free account from the sign-up page. A free account gives you access to the free preview straight away.

Yes. Xametric is built for students in both New Zealand and Australia, and pricing is shown in your local currency.
