Feedback on our ISEB Pre-Test tutors
"Alice had to step in just a few weeks before 11+ ISEB began and she hit the ground running. She breezed into the house bringing tranquillity and professional calm. I have never met a Keystone Tutor who is not on top of her brief but what was most welcome was that the kids absolutely loved being with her as well. “But, lessons are fun with Alice”, said my daughter when the 11+ exams ended. Quirky, intelligent, flexible, fun and worked a treat for my kid"
Parent of Year 6 and Year 8 students"Thank you so much for helping to bring this miracle! My daughter has been successful with her interviews for both Headington and Badminton, thanks to you"

What are the best ways to prepare for ISEB Common Pre-Tests?
There's a lot of anxiety surrounding ISEB Common Pre-Tests. Parents I speak with are often concerned about the lack of example questions provided from ISEB themselves – a familiar tool for preparing for many other important tests. This lack of predictability is precisely the point of the Pre-Test. It's a test which can't be beaten simply by doing mindless, repetitive preparation.
ISEB Pre-Test Scores and Pass Mark
The way the ISEB Pre-Test is scored, and the way the results are used by different schools, can be confusing for parents. The key questions parents have about these tests are answered below.

What is the ISEB Pre-Test?
The ISEB (Independent Schools Examination Board) Pre-Test is used to test a child’s current learning and academic potential. It is used by a range of private secondary schools in the UK to assess children before the 13+ entrance exams and at a handful of schools as a pre-test to 11+ entry.
The test consists of English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning segments. It is an online test normally delivered at the child's current school or the school the student is applying to, and the questions are adaptive, meaning that correct answers will unlock even harder questions.
