4+ 'secret' found in some spam email

I saw some marketing email in my spam folder today from some random tutor guy as follows:

Today I want to give you one little secret that will help you to truly understand the level of mathematics that your child needs to be at in order to have any chance of scoring highly in the maths part of their 4+ assessments.

Here is the secret for you.

Are you ready?

Your child needs to have covered the whole of the Year 1 Curriculum to a very high standard in order to stand a chance at scoring highly in the maths part of their 4+ assessments.

Perhaps this is shocking to you. Perhaps you are thinking that I am crazy for even suggesting such a thing.

Well, I do not say it to shock you and I am definitely not crazy!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Email back and say my 4 year old is doing maths at sixth form level thank you very much, so I won't need your help.

Haha this did not happen - the OP is posting this to scare people but it’s absolutely not true they need to be at year 1 level at all. You used to post as @deanstreet previously - I really don’t understand what kind of reaction you are trying to get! It’s not secret 🤐

Lol. Anyone who knows anything about 4+ (in my case, in the competitive bits of London) knows that’s bollocks.

@Henriettina reading these spam emails convinces me that these 4+ tutors are useless and full of bollocks
