Take your Highgate 7+ Assessment preparations to the NEXT LEVEL.
/We’ve prepared hundreds of children over the last 16 years to have tremendous success in this incredibly challenging 7+ Assessment.
You see, the only way to take your Highgate 7+ Assessment preparations to the next level is by fully understanding that process, knowing the level your child should be at and then putting in a lot of effort to prepare your child . 2 years of Highgate 7+ Assessment preparation is the sweet spot but if you’re just finding me now, just get started.
You want to try as much as possible to start preparing for this 7+ Assessment by the time your child begins Reception. Give them a chance to get settled in if need be and then get started.
There is too much of a curriculum to cover and you do not want to rush 7+ Assessment preparation.
There will be 3 separate exam papers:
English
Maths
Non Verbal (The english paper WILL include Verbal reasoning)
Your child will have 50 minutes per paper and SPEED and STAMINA are key. Highgate like to provide A LOT of questions in a short period of time. Verbal and non verbal instructions (written)will be given. Assistance will not be provided. The English paper will be 2 comprehensions and story writing (extended creative response question). As the creative writing is an extension of one of the comprehensions, your child will need to have fully understood the comprehension in order to be able to write a creative piece about it. Spelling and punctuation will be important. Vocabulary will be of vital importance. Without a very strong vocabulary, there is no way your child will ever stand a chance in this English paper. The only way to have a strong vocabulary is to read avidly. Your teacher will help you to choose the best set of books to get started with. Reading needs to be consistent and daily not sporadic and when your child ‘feels like it’. In the maths paper, the expectation is that the children will have covered all of the Year 2 maths curriculum at depth.
As well as academic excellence, Highgate are also very interested in children who know how to be independent and are able to demonstrate this in their 7+ Assessment (first and second round). They are also looking for exceptional behaviour and attitudes towards learning. Another important aspect of behaviour is being able to work well as part of a team, to be able to share and to collaborate with others (students and teachers).
Children who generally tend to not pass this 7+ Assessment are as follows:
Children who have not been exposed to as much of the curriculum needed to be exposed to.
Children who are not strong with story writing.
Children who do not have strong vocabulary.
Children who have not been able to demonstrate the attitudes for learning that Highgate are looking for.
We provide the best support to all of our students preparing for their Highgate 7+ Assessment. We know exactly what is needed for them to be in with any chance of passing both rounds. We provide 24/7 support to our clients and we work closely together to achieve the best results possible for our students.
