Computer based entrance exams

Post by Too Lazy to Sign In »

Our school of choice uses computer based entrance exams. They tell all prospective parents that the exam will measure potential and is impossible to practice for. I don't want to naively accept this only to find out at a later date that everyone else has been prepared. Any thoughts or experience of these kinds of tests?

Many thanks

Got the letter this morning! That's one less thing to worry about. It will be a long day for him though...he is due to have his first interview before midday and his last one finishes at 5pm. Of course there are exams in between this and death by lunch (!!)

He passed the exams and has been invited for another interview for a discretionary award - we are asking for a bursary.
We are proud parents...not got a guaranteed paid place yet though. :mrgreen: Thanks for the support guys, yawn...
