This is why your NLCS 4+ Assessment preparation may not work.
/So many parents have no idea what to expect when they sign up to send their daughter to the 4+ Assessment at NLCS.
There are so many comments online that literally say how wonderful the 4+ Assessment is and parents saying that their daughter had an amazing time.
Listen, no one cares that your daughter had a great time at her NLCS 4+ Assessment. Who actually cares? Why are people even talking about that?
I read a comment that said something like, ‘Why do I keep reading that the 4+ Assessments are traumatic and stressful? My daughter had an amazing time at her 4+ Assessment.’
Ok, but was she successful?
And also who is telling you that the 4+ Assessments are traumatic and stressful? It would never be traumatic and stressful for a 3 year old. I’ve never heard this from anyone. Ever.
Perhaps it is traumatic and stressful for the parents who are unsuccessful at securing a place at any of their target schools?
Because of these comments and other people literally telling you not to prepare your daughter for her 4+ Assessment at NLCS, you might naively think that this is the case.
Well, let me tell you this, if you don’t prepare your daughter properly for her 4+ Assessment at NLCS and if you don’t take the process seriously, then don’t expect to have any sort of success.
NLCS receives over 500 applications every single year for the 4+ Assessment.
With only 40 places available, your daughter will have a 1:12 chance of passing her first round.
If she passes the first round, she will have a better chance of passing the second round as the ration lowers to about 1:4. Passing the first round is something exceptional!
Your NLCS 4+ Assessment preparation may not work if you read ridiculous comments online and believe them. Your NLCS 4+ Assessment preparation may not work if you believe that your daughter’s nursery alone can prepare your daughter for her 4+ Assessment. Your NLCS 4+ Assessment preparation may not work if you don’t thoroughly cover all areas of the EYFS curriculum that will be assessed in both rounds. Your NLCS 4+ Assessment preparation may not work if your daughter doesn’t have the skills of being resilient and being able to persevere.
If you want to be successful in the NLCS 4+ Assessment, work with a teacher who has been preparing girls for this assessment for over 16 years. Work with a teacher who has real and actual experience of supporting girls to pass their 4+ Assessment at NLCS.
