DD wants to go to a selective girls boarding school. Her school doesn't prepare for common entrance and we are in a laid back area - all well and good but the reality is she will be competing against highly prepared girls from far more competitive schools.
So how do I help her practice for NVR / VR / Mathematical Reasoning (I think it could be partly computer tests). Then the english and maths and science papers to follow.
Is there a big difference between 11+ Common Entrance and Year 6 SATS? What kind of scores do they need to be getting on practice papers?
Any tips are very welcome - she is in Year 4 now - but I think it is less stressful not to leave things till the last minute and like to go for a gently gently approach.
She's happy doing stuff with me - and I haven't heard of a tutor in my area who has any experience with the schools she wants - so I can't see the point of paying for something I can do myself IYSWIM.
She would also like to try for an art or music scholarship - any ideas on levels required?
