In 2025, more children than ever are applying for a limited number of selective school places. That means even high-performing students face serious competition.
Here’s why parents need to prepare smarter:
- Grammar school exams are evolving. GL and CSSE formats are now testing more speed, stamina, and precision.
- Independent schools are expecting more. They’re introducing creative writing, longer comprehension, and problem-solving tasks that can’t be memorised.
- Many schools now combine entrance exams with interviews and classroom observation. You’re preparing for more than just one paper.
A one-size-fits-all revision plan simply won’t cut it anymore. You need insight, strategy, and exposure to real test pressure.
🧠 Mock Exams Reveal the Full Picture
Mocks aren’t just about seeing a score. They give you the complete view of your child’s readiness:
Benefit | What It Means |
🧭 Direction | Find out what to focus on — specific topics, question types, or subjects |
💡 Clarity | Learn how your child performs under time pressure |
🧘 Confidence | Sitting a real-style exam reduces fear and anxiety later |
📊 Data-Driven Decisions | Use insights to decide tutoring, revision focus, or school choices |
🎯 Targeted Improvement | Focus energy on the areas that will actually improve scores |
The earlier you start mocks, the better. They help avoid last-minute panic — and create a calm, focused student when it matters most.
