SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Science & Technology are an important part of an advancing and global world. For this reason, Science & Technology are included in and assesses for studnets in Stage 3 and up.
These test questions are general knowledge questions that students should have studied in their current schools and should have some knowledge of. The best way to prepare for this part of the test is to review notes from current schools and science and technology classes.
Should there be some units or parts of the assessment that you have not covered in your own classes, then you are encouraged to read some general knowledge articles and academic texts to prepare. IDAT will not provide links to these tests, but all questions will be general in their construction and require understanding of the topics listed.
For more detailed information on what kind of questions may be asked – please see our detailed curriculum.
