Come to Hootbrook.Where your child gets a little braver, ten minutes at a time.
Calm, adaptive OC, Selective and NAPLAN practice for Australian kids aged 5–12.
Test prep in Australia usually means one of three things: drilling until somebody cries, a tutor by the hour, or an app that shouts. Hootbrook is the fourth thing — a quiet place your child actually wants to visit, built by people who think ten good minutes beat sixty miserable ones.
A walk through Hootbrook.
Three things happen, in this order. Nothing else is asked of you.
They find their place.
Ten calm minutes a day.
You see everything. They see a village.
Frames are drawn for this page — the real screens use the same layout and the same rule.
We can’t show you awards yet. We can show you our working.
Four checks stand between a question being written and a child ever seeing it. Every one of them runs on the whole bank, every time.
Two independent solvers must agree on every answer — questions they disagree on are pulled, not patched.
Every wrong option has a written reason a child might pick it.
Every count on this page comes from our validator, not our marketing.
When a defect class is found once, a machine gate hunts it bank-wide forever.

What is the next number in this sequence? 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, __

Two solvers, one answer, no disagreement to adjudicate. Key held at A — 96.

Reviewed 6 August 2026. Status recorded in the bank as verified, alongside the explanation a child is shown: “Each term is doubled: 3×2=6, 6×2=12, 12×2=24, 24×2=48, 48×2=96.”
This trail exists for every one of the 22,000+ questions. It is the same record the validator reads, not a marketing summary of it.
Hootbrook is new. There are no fake five-star walls here and no “#1” badges — when we publish results, they’ll arrive with the methodology attached, and we’ll state the method before we collect the data.
Three moments, built on purpose.
A product is remembered for the two or three things people retell. These are ours.
The stamp thunk
Mastery lands as a passport stamp — pressed, not popped. No confetti, no fanfare, no sound you would turn off. Children collect them the way you collected them in a real passport.
“The owl sat on the gate.”

The First Sentence
The first sentence a child reads in Hootbrook becomes a dated keepsake certificate. It goes on the fridge, and the fridge does the marketing.
The quiet goodbye
At the daily cap, dusk falls on the map and the windows light up. “The village lights are coming on. See you tomorrow.” Wellbeing drawn into the world, not buried in a setting.
Hootbrook ends the session while it’s still fun. On purpose.
The honest dashboard.
You’ll know where they stand long before test day.
- Separate placement per subject — not one blunt grade for the whole child.
- Every number comes from your child’s actual answers, and you can see which ones.
- One honest line each week. Never “your child is behind” — that sentence helps nobody.
Sample parent view, drawn for this page. Numbers shown are one child’s example week, not an average or a result claim.
One price. On this page.
You should not have to book a call, start a trial or hand over a card to find out what something costs. So here it is, in full, with the guarantee sitting next to the button rather than three clicks away in a policy.
One plan covers every child in your household, every subject and every mode — OC, Selective and NAPLAN. Nothing is held back for a higher tier, because there isn’t one.
No tiers. No decoys. No crossed-out anchor price, and no sales — ever. A permanent sale is just a disguised price, and a stale one tells you nobody is minding the shop.

Questions, answered plainly.
Which ages and tests does Hootbrook cover?
Ages 5 to 12. Opportunity Class and Selective preparation, plus NAPLAN practice for the primary years. Behind the village sits one mapped curriculum — 400+ concepts and 22,000+ questions — so a child moves through it in the order the concepts actually build on each other, rather than in the order a workbook happens to print them.
Is it safe? What happens to our data?
Rest easy: no ads, no in-app purchases, nothing sold to third parties.
There is no chat, no public leaderboard of real names, and nothing a stranger can send your child. The parent account holds the record; the child account holds the map.
The full detail, including the one advertising measurement tool we run on these public marketing pages and never inside the learning app, is in our privacy policy.
How do refunds work?
30 days, full refund, one email. No forms, no phone call, and no question about why. After 30 days you can cancel any time and keep your access until the year you have already paid for runs out.
Nothing here removes your rights under Australian Consumer Law. The full terms are in our refund policy.
How is this different from tutoring?
A tutor gives your child an hour of someone else’s full attention, once a week, and a verbal report at the door. Hootbrook gives them ten minutes of exactly the right practice most days, and gives you the written record of what actually happened.
It is not a replacement for a good teacher. It is what happens on the nights in between.
Ten minutes seems short. Is that really enough?
The cap is the feature. Hootbrook ends the session while it is still fun, on purpose — dusk falls on the map, the windows light up, and the village closes for the night.
Short and daily beats long and dreaded. It also protects the only thing that really matters at this age: that your child still wants to come back tomorrow.
The village is open.
In ten minutes, you’ll know where your child stands.
