AUS-e-TUTE is being developed by experienced Science Teachers to provide FREE Chemistry tutorials suitable for High School students.
Each AUS-e-TUTE tutorial is a simple one-page look at a particular aspect of a chemistry topic and has links to the AUS-e-TUTE Members Only Test Centre.

You will need to become an AUS-e-TUTE member in order to access the AUS-e-TUTE Members Only Test Centre.
You can find out more about AUS-e-TUTE membership here.
The AUS-e-TUTE Members Only Test Centre contains thousands of questions arranged by topic into

  • tests
  • exams
  • learning activities

Test and exam questions have fully worked solutions, and wherever possible, there is a link back to the relevant AUS-e-TUTE tutorial.

There is an assortment of different types of questions within each test and exam:

  • multiple choice
  • calculations
  • short answer response
  • long answer response

The learning activities include crossword puzzles and games.

New learning activities, test and exam questions are added to the Members Only Test Centre regularly.

You can view a selection of question types here.

There are two types of ausetute membership:

  • Individual Membership
  • School (or Group) Membership

Individual membership provides access to the AUS-e-TUTE Test Centre for 1 person for 1 year.
Individual membership costs $50 (Australian) per year. You can convert this into your own currency here.
You can become an AUS-e-TUTE Individual Member by filling out the online registration form using your credit card, or you can print off the membership form and send it to AUS-e-TUTE with either your credit card details or a cheque.

AUS-e-TUTE School (or Group) Membership provides access to the Test Centre for each of your Chemistry students and teachers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 1 year. AUS-e-TUTE will also work with your teachers in order to provide your students with pages relevant to your lessons, we call these School Pages.
Teachers can set AUS-e-TUTE tests and exams as classwork, homework, or as work to be done when the teacher is away, knowing that, unlike most textbooks, there will be a worked solution for each question, not just an answer.
