1. Consider The Services Of A 7 Plus Tutor For Your Child Probably allparents in the UK that want the best for their children and their future are aware that it is not always that easy and straight forward to find a place at a good private primary school for their young children. Many, however, that have looked into the matter, understand that their child has to meet certain criteria to be accepted at a good private school, and even more so, a school that the parents and children would prefer as their first choice. Therefore parents arrange for private 7 Plus lessons with a private tutor to prepare the child for the exam they will sit – either at home or online. WHEN DO CHILDREN SIT THE 7 PLUS? Children that want to be accepted into the private school system, also at primary level, have to sit the 7 Plus and perform well to be considered for one of the sought-after positions in the UK’s private schools. Many are keen to attend one of these schools, but positions are limited; therefore an exam tests the child’s readiness for acceptance. This exam takes place when the child is in Year 2 and wants to progress to Year 3. WHAT DOES THE EXAM TEST? Two important subjects, upon which much of the child’s future education is based and built, receive attention and are tested to see if the child’s development allows him/her to be accepted into the private school system. These are English and mathematics. In terms of English, for example, several areas are tested, such as the child’s ability to read with comprehension and answer questions; some level of story writing is required; the child’s spelling skills must show that they have mastered this aspect for their age; and how they respond to dictation. In terms of their mathematical skills, they need to know certain tables, such as, say, up to the 10th, and other areas that test their ability to prove how they arrived at their answer. These are mere examples. In addition to being tested on English and mathematics, children will also be required to show that they are able to reason, and they will be asked to prove they possess both verbal and non- verbal reasoning skills. Upon successful completion of the exam, the parent and child can feel they have a much better chance to be accepted at a top private primary school. FORMAT Most schools will test the child at their school; it is normally a paper-based exam; however, some schools have started to use online testing too. Some schools may decide to use a multiple-choice online format, while other schools may use a computer-adaptive type of testing. WHO STANDS THE BEST CHANCE OF BEING ACCEPTED? It makes sense that good schools are always looking for potential; therefore children that score well/better than others, will be accepted for entry. This is regardless of whether the child is from a state or prep primary school background. TUTORING SERVICES Parents normally make use of the services of a private tutor to help their child master those learning areas that are tested, such as the ability to read well, to understand what they read and to answer questions related to what they read. They must also be able to write a story of a few paragraphs, with introduction, middle and end. They also have to show that they have mastered certain aspects of mathematical reasoning. Tutors with the necessary experience are the ideal people to assist in this regard. Tutors work together with parents to ensure the best possible outcome for the child that prepares to sit the 7 Plus. Therefore the best environment is created at home for these private 7 Plus lessons. The alternative is online tutoring, an option that some parents and children prefer.
