My DS has recently got through and has scored very High. I would recommend following:
-Start in time so you know the areas you need to focus on.
-Never let the confidence of child fall.
-Try all different materials but keep focus on the types that are used locally.
-Kids should also have rich vocabulary and good grasp of numeracy and hence side reading is essential.
-some combined works with peers make them intersted to work.
-Time management is crucial.
-Find the weak areas and work extra on them.
-child on the process can also develope some own strategy and encourage them to do it as long as you check it carefully.
-Don't experiment anything new before exams as it can distract and confuse them.
-Good rest before exam.
-Obviously, there is not a single prescription for all and hence you know your child best and find the ways to keep their motivation high.
-If you know someone who could guide your child with tips.

Finally, it is a bit of as well in the sense that they have to perform on the day.
GOOD LUCK!

Hi,
has anyone had a child that has done an entrance exam for west Berkshire at all?
Could do with some help/advice as daughter will be taking it next January 2010 for a private school in West Berks and although we know it contains VR,English,Maths,Science some other experiences would be very helpful!
Thank you!

Hi blue

Welcome to the forum.

If you scroll down on the forum index page you will see there is a whole section for Berkshire. If you put your question there I think you are more likely to get a helpful response

good luck
