What are entrance exams?
An entrance exam is a test used by selective schools to assess a child’s academic ability before offering a place. These exams often include subjects like English, maths, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning. At Explore Learning, our entrance exam tuition supports children in developing the skills and confidence they need to succeed in these assessments.
FAQs
At what age can my child start entrance exam tuition?
Children typically begin entrance exam tuition from Year 4 or early Year 5, giving them time to build the foundations and confidence needed for success. We recommend starting early with entrance exam tuition, as this can improve their chances of passing the exams and have overall benefits for their schoolwork. However, we understand every child is different, so we offer tailored tuition to support your child whenever they’re ready to start preparing for their entrance exam.
Is my child guaranteed to get into their selected school?
While we can’t guarantee a place at your chosen selective school, our entrance exam tuition is designed to give your child the best possible chance of success. We focus on building strong subject knowledge, exam techniques, and confidence to help them perform at their best when it matters most.
Do you offer mock exams?
Yes, we offer mock exams as part of our entrance exam tuition programme. These provide a valuable opportunity for your child to experience exam conditions, identify areas for improvement, and build confidence ahead of the real test.
Can my child prepare for more than one school entrance exam?
Absolutely. Our entrance exam tuition is flexible and personalised, so we can help your child prepare for the specific requirements of multiple selective schools. We tailor our support to match your goals and your child’s learning needs.
