"I enrolled my daughter for this 11+ exam course at Summit Saturday School because I knew she wanted to go to an independent school. Over the 8 months, I found that she has become really confident, she has really matured, and she is really, happy compared to her peers. She will sit down, focus on what she has to do and get it done. She has done really, really well and is not worried by the fact that she is going to sit exams that will determine her future. I really recommend the Summit School and the 11+ Course." Sherife

If your child is already doing quite well in a subject he/she will have the opportunity to perfect their skills and refine their knowledge even further to make sure of the highest scores.

"I like Summit Saturday School and I have enjoyed the 11+ exam course because I learnt how to do my verbal and non verbal. It helps me with Maths and English and I also learn more. I would recommend it to my friends because I think they would like it. I like it because it’s such fun. You have very small classes and you get lots of attention from teachers and that makes you learn more than you actually do in school. It helps me with my school work and I am much more confident. The teachers here are great." Tim Leake (age 10)

Pupils work in small classes of around 6 – 12 students, which is unique among local schools, and we value the tremendous opportunities that this way of working offers pupils and teachers. It makes for lively, stimulating and highly interactive classes in which everyone is engaged and no one is left behind.

"I first enrolled my son Micah on this 11+ course in preparation for the 11 Plus exams. He was lacking in the knowledge he needed and I wanted him to have additional tuition. He has really benefited, immensely. His confidence has really grown. All the 11 plus exams he has sat so far, he has gone in with no fear at all, absolutely ready for the challenge. I would recommend the course and Summit School to anyone wishing their child or children to get into any good school. Micah has been offered a place at Trinity, his first choice of school. We are over the moon and can’t thank the teachers enough!!" Rachel M

IQ. Tests

IQ testing has become more and more popular over the years particularly for children, but also for students wishing to secure a place at university. It is the most credible measure of a person’s actual ability and can be structured in such a way to determine whether the child has the qualities, academic ability and intelligence to perform the work, or reach the required standard. The results of the tests will also demonstrate the ability of the pupil to develop skills or acquire knowledge.

IQ tests are intended to determine a child’s true mental potential by comparing the scores of other children who have taken the same tests. Many selective schools use this information to determine how intelligent each pupil is compared to all the other pupils preparing for 11 plus exams.
