Bute 7+

Anyone willing to share information on what to expect at Bute House 7+ assessment..?
My daughter is at a strong academic school at the moment in London and sitting 7+ at Bute in January. We have not done any tutoring or special 7+ prep so wondering if it’s even worth a try or best to leave the idea. She is naturally talented in math and is OK with English (e.g. she is keeping up with her current school expectations but not winning any prizes).
Is anyone willing to share what the assessment looks like…?
Is it even worth trying if there has not been any tutoring/ special prep..?
Thank you!

We have a friend whose daughter is preparing for Bute, and it seems possible and their main emphasis is on English. Her English is excellent, though her math used to be a bit weaker. She has, however, made significant progress in math. She attends the same exam preparation class as my son. I wasn’t sure she would make it in the beginning , but now think she has a decent chance of getting in it.

Has anyone received Bute house assessment registration details? Wonder why they want to know about tutoring details?

Has anyone any idea how many kids called back for Bute second round?

About 75 according to their open day with 40-45 getting an offer

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your tutor’s details with us. My daughter has been invited for an interview at Bute, and I’ve sent you a DM. I’d really appreciate it if you could respond to a couple of our questions. Thanks again.
