About AUS-e-TUTE

AUS-e-TUTE is an interactive learning resource being developed by experienced science teachers to provide free tutorials suitable for high school students.
Every AUS-e-TUTE tutorial is a single page explanation of a particular scientific concept written in easy to understand language suitable for high school students.
Each tutorial page has links to tests, exams and games, which are only available to AUS-e-TUTE members. Fully worked solutions are provided for all AUS-e-TUTE test and exam questions.

Teachers can now prepare worksheets and quizzes in seconds using the worksheet/quiz wizards located in the Teachers Only area of the AUS-e-TUTE website.
Worksheets and quizzes come with answers supplied in a separate section after the questions.
No two worksheets or quizzes you prepare on the same topic will be the same using our wizards!

New resources such as games, test and exam questions are added to the Members Only Test Centre regularly.
