The best way to prepare your child for their 4+ Assessments

January is a very important time of year in the 4+ Assessment World!

Many of my current clients have already been working with me for 3 months preparing their children for their 4+ Assessments (2025 entry). I always tell parents that there is no ‘right’ time to start 4+ Assessment preparation. You will start when you are ready to start. Simple. However, you definitely do not want to leave it to the last minute. There is far too much to cover,

January is important because it is the time of year that many parents are thinking about who they want to work with to prepare their child for their 4+ Assessments.

The best way to prepare your child for their 4+ Assessments, is to choose best teacher for them. Whether you teach them yourself or you get the help of a qualified professional, you want the best of the best. That’s who we are. I say that with confidence, because I know how to get my clients the results that they desire.

My clients’ number one priority is for their child to be successful in at least one of their 4+ Assessments. My number one priority is for them to have options. My students have always been successful at gaining entry to at least one of their target schools and often, they are successful to several or all of their target schools. Of course, this is dependant on many factors. Here are three of them:

1. When they start.

Students who start with us who have at least 9 months of Assessment preparation are far more likely to be successful in their 4+ Assessments than a student who has 2-3 months of Assessment preparation.

2. How consistent they are with their tuition.

Students who meet with us weekly are far more likely to be successful that those who are not consistent or who take a lot of breaks in between lessons.

3. The schools that they are applying to.

Some schools are notoriously harder to get into at 4+. This is why it is vital that you discuss your school choices with your teacher and that you are very strategic about it. If you are applying to 4 of the most prestigious schools in London and you don’t have any back ups, this won’t be the best strategy.

So, choose your teacher. Choose the BEST teacher. Choose a teacher who has experience and has had success in getting children into your target schools. Choose a teacher who knows how to prepare your child effectively for their 4+ Assessments.

Please, please, please do not just choose a teacher on the basis that they will come to your house. This is completely irrelevant. Trust me on this one.

Once you have chosen your teacher, it’s time to get to work.
