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"Max has been absolutely fantastic with my daughter and he has taught her so much and helped her confidence grow. My daughter did very well on the ISEB and also got through to the second round City Exam which meant that she got invited for an interview for all the schools she applied for - this would not have been possible without Max's fab tutoring! He has a very calm approach and equally makes the lessons fun. I could not recommend him more highly!"

Articles on the ISEB Pre-Test
Guide to Computerised Pre-tests
In recent years, many independent senior schools that have put pre-tests in place have purposefully designed them with as little transparency as possible. It is for this reason that the tests are often computer generated and no past papers are issued. As such, no tutor can claim to have in depth knowledge or experience of the tests themselves, in their current form.

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 Common 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.
