Entrance Exams (CV32 5DE)
From UK Independent Schools
Contents |
[edit] Overview
Not all independent schools are highly selective but most use some form of entrance exam. Many day schools set their own examinations, mainly in Maths, English and possibly Verbal Reasoning; others use the Common Entrance exam, which can be taken for entry at 11+, 12+ or 13+. The papers for 11+ entry are designed to be suitable for all pupils, whatever type of school they attend, but most pupils who take the exam for 12+ or 13+ entry are already attending independent schools. A child who has not been attending an independent preparatory school may need additional coaching from a private tutor. It is best to appoint a tutor well in advance of the exam rather than in the last few weeks. This will help to build a child's confidence steadily and avoid any sense of panic.
