How to prepare for the selective school test
- 1. Sit a diagnostic. Begin with a full-length practice test to see where your child stands against the real format and timing.
- 2. Target weak topics. Use the analytics to focus practice on the subjects and question types that need the most work.
- 3. Practise under time pressure. Selective exams reward accuracy at speed, so rehearse with the clock running and build time-management strategies.
- 4. Review every mistake. Read the worked explanation for each missed question, then re-test weekly to lock in progress.
