Lessons learnt so far from the 3+ Assessments (2023)
/I have been preparing children for their 3+ Assessments for 16 years. Each year, the Assessments are very similar.
How do I know what will happen at each school that has Assessments at 3+?
It’s simple.
My clients tell me.
My students tell me.
I have seen Assessments in action at a variety of top London schools.
In most schools that have had a 3+ Assessment so far, parents have been invited to go into the room with their child.
Interestingly, I have spoken to several different parents (some my own clients and some not) who have been telling me about their experiences.
The most common theme is that preparation is key.
I have spoken to several parents who have told me that they were completely shocked by the expectation in the 3+ Assessment.
It does not shock me.
It’s the same each year.
So what exactly do you have to do to ensure that your child is ready for their 3+?
It’s simple.
Prepare them for the separation - Even though, you might be in the room with them, they still need to be prepared to detach from you and go and engage in the activities calmly and confidently.
Teach them how to answer questions asked by others and practise asking them a variety of different questions.
Expose them to a variety of activities that will be assessed in the Assessment,
We have a bespoke programme of study for all of our students preparing for their 3+ Assessments No two programmes are the same as they are tailored towards to schools that you have chosen to sit Assessment at.
Preparation is key.
Whether your prepare your child or you have tuition.
