Exam Intensive

Bespoke exam-focused preparation.

A fixed-term programme for families preparing for a specific entrance exam, planned backwards from the exam date so the remaining time is used deliberately.

How Exam Intensive works

Start at the exam date. Work backwards.

Preparation is shaped by three things: what the exam requires, where the child is now and how much time is left.

  1. Consultation

    Understand the target schools, exam dates and time remaining.

  2. Diagnostic

    A full assessment establishes exactly where the child is now.

  3. Backwards plan

    Preparation is planned from the exam date back to today.

  4. Prioritise

    Time goes to the areas that will make the most difference.

  5. Exam technique

    Assessment-style practice, timing and working under conditions.

  6. Readiness review

    Ongoing review right up to the exam period.
