A Guide to the 7 Plus
[image1h]What is the 7 plus?The 7+ exam is designed for children who are in Year 2, typically around the age of six or seven. These exams are usually held in the January of their Year 2 school year and are used to assess the readiness and suitability of students for admission in Year 3 to their chosen school. The 7+ entry assessments will vary from school to school so it is important to find out how your chosen school will conduct their assessments.
7 Plus Interview Questions
How do I prepare my child for a 7 plus interview?A good starting point for preparing your child for the 7 plus interview would be to simply have regular conversations with them on any topic. Conversing with your child – taking turns in listening and speaking, with questions and answers included – will help your child to interpret and respond to the interviewer’s questions.
Maths represents an important element of 7+ entrance assessments to independent schools. Maths papers at this level are primarily grounded in core numeracy skills as well as problem solving. The 7+ Maths tutors that we represent are familiar with the differences between schools and their entrance requirements. They have an outstanding track record of supporting students with 7+ Maths ahead of entrance tests at the most competitive schools.
