13+ Common Entrance preparation
(Ages 11-13)
What is it?
The 13+ exam, or Common Entrance exam, is a selective test for admission to UK independent senior schools, typically taken by students aged 12-13. This exam covers core subjects like English, mathematics, and science, with options for additional subjects such as history and languages. Designed to assess both knowledge and critical thinking skills, the 13+ helps schools gauge students’ readiness for a rigorous academic environment.
