Think what you want about the UCS 'Playdate Assessment' BUT if you want to be successful, listen to me!
/It is NOT a ‘playdate’.
I won’t go on about this as I’ve spoken about it several times in my blogs. Simply search for ‘UCS’.
What is a ‘play date’ to you?
Is a play date being in a large group with hundreds of other boys?
Is a play date being observed by several adults in the room?
Is a play date being asked lots and lots of questions?
Is a play date being asked to do activities and then being watched as you do them?
If your answer is ‘Yes!’ to any of those questions, then sure it is a playdate!
2. This term catches parents out because they don’t take it seriously enough.
How many times have I heard parents say to me, ‘It’s just a play date!’ and ‘They’ve told us not to prepare!’ and ‘Why stress, he’s only 3!’
Take the UCS 4+ Assessment very seriously or you will not be successful. It is as simple as that.
This is such an over subscribed school at 4+. There may be hundreds and hundreds of applicants for only 32 places available. Remember that!
3. The fact that UCS still say that ‘no preparation is required’ after all these years of parents not preparing their sons and not being successful is intriguing to me.
Parents will ask me why UCS say this.
It’s intriguing to me but it is also irrelevant.
Who cares why they say this?
Many people say many things. Does it mean you need to believe them?
Believe what you want.
Or believe me when I tell you that after 15 years of preparing my boys to be VERY successful at this school, that you absolutely must prepare for UCS and you must prepare very well.
You have ONLY 3 months left to prepare.
