Reviews and 7+ preparation advice for St Paul's and Westminster

[Bluebirdchime]

Hello,
I am looking for some helpful and honest reviews about schooling at St. Pauls and Westminster. We are targetting 7+ entry. In addition, I am also in need of advice on how to prepare my child for the 7+ entrance examinations at these schools. Any guidance will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

We have friends whose children attend both schools and they all seem very happy there. From what I've seen, both are excellent schools, and for many families the choice comes down to practical considerations such as location and whether you prefer a co-ed or not. We live in Victoria, so Westminster Under would be particularly appealing for us because it's very close to home and is co-educational, meaning both of our children could attend the same school.We started preparing in March using Bond, cgp schofield and simsvooks and , so far, I feel we are able to manage most of the preparation ourselves. We may consider hiring a tutor from July onwards, but we haven't made a decision yet. One thing we are considering is enrolling them in a weekend preparation course, if we can find a good one. I think it would be useful for them to experience a classroom environment and for us to get a better idea of how they compare with other children preparing for the same exams.

@megw8 Thank you for your response. The resources you have mentioned seem targetted at 11+. Would you have any suggestions for 7+ entrance examination preparation by any chance?
