School Entry: 7+ and 8+

7 and 8 plus entry

Select schools will require pupils to sit either a 7+ exam (for Year 3 entry) or an 8+ exam (for Year 4 entry). Both the 7+ and 8+ exams include English and Mathematics questions and have a similar structure, though the expected attainment for pupils sitting the 8+ exam is higher. The precise content of the test varies depending on the target school. As well as a Maths and English test, pupils may also be required to sit a Reasoning test or even a separate punctuation and spelling test for 8+ exams.

We have assisted hundreds of pupils into leading day and boarding schools in London and across the UK. Our success lies in working with a small group of highly experienced tutors with access to excellent resources. Any tutor who supports your child with their preparation for school entrance will have already been successful in helping another pupil gain a place at a school of the same calibre.
