About School admission assessment
- Relevance
- International
- Who it is for
- Children applying to a school that sets its own entry assessment.
- Before you start
- It differs by school. Ask the school which subjects and year-group content the assessment covers, and what it looks like.
- Typical length
- Planned around the assessment date given by the school.
Many schools assess applicants with a short test in English and mathematics, a conversation with the child, or both. There is no single format, and the school itself is the only reliable source for what it will ask. Tutors can help children feel comfortable with the kinds of tasks they are likely to meet.
