We’ll provide you with a holistic view of your child's academic capabilities and potential. This assessment not only evaluates current performance but also identifies areas for growth and development.
Our comprehensive academic assessment consists of several key components. We begin by reviewing the student's provided report, followed by a 2-hour live online examination using official papers. This is complemented by a 1-hour core subject exam led by a specialized tutor. Students also participate in a 1-hour discussion on a pre-prepared topic, showcasing their communication and critical thinking skills. Based on these evaluations, we compile a detailed report covering behaviour, reasoning skills and overall results. The process concludes with a 1-hour consultation involving the specialist tutor and our senior team to discuss the assessment outcomes and provide personalized feedback.
