Top Tips for Grammar School

  1. 1

    Start practising at least 6 months before the exam — consistent short sessions beat last-minute cramming.

  2. 2

    Focus on weak subjects first. Use our analytics to identify where your child needs the most help.

  3. 3

    Practise under timed conditions from early on so your child is comfortable with the pace of the real exam.

  4. 4

    Review every wrong answer carefully. Understanding why an answer is wrong is more valuable than getting it right by luck.

  5. 5

    Build vocabulary daily — verbal reasoning scores improve significantly with a wider vocabulary.

  6. 6

    Stay positive and keep sessions short (20-30 minutes) to maintain motivation and focus.
