Standards differ from school to school, as do the format of the 4+, 7+, 11+ and 13+ tests. In some multiple choice is indicated, and in others, students have to write long answers or essays. Therefore practise in both types of papers and a high level of English writing skill is essential.

We recognise the general difference in formats and style between independent and grammar school testing. Therefore, we have developed specific resources for each exam type for Mathematics, English and Verbal Reasoning that reflect these differences. Our grammar school resources are especially useful for those sitting tests set by GL or CEM Assessment. Our numerical reasoning programme covers all aspects of mathematics and mental arithmetic.

We have an implicit knowledge of the actual papers and process of the 7+ and 11+ exams and marking schemes. We constantly monitor changes to exam papers.

Exam Prep and timed tests are part of our English and Maths lessons. They provide vital practise of working with exam pressure under time constrained conditions. Students learn the pattern and content of papers. . Students have access to years of past papers and our own resources developed in-house.

Intensive and fast-track programmes may be advised by our tutors if necessary.
