How To Prepare Your Children For Private School Admission Tests
by Corey Warren
If you want to enroll your child in a private school, you need to prepare them for the admission tests. These tests can be pretty challenging, and if your child isn't ready, they may not get into the school of your choice. This article discusses what you can do to ensure your child has a better chance of admission.
Read up on the Admission Tests
Private school admission tests can be a daunting prospect for any parent. But with a bit of research, you can get things done right. You can give your child a leg up by getting useful information on the admission process for private schools. Reading up on private school admissions tests is a good place to start. Familiarizing yourself with the format and content of these tests can help you better prepare your child.
Keep in mind that private schools use different standardized tests, including:
- Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE): This test is broken down into the lower, middle, and upper levels. Your child's entry level is based on the grade they will be entering.
- Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT): The SSAT is offered at elementary and upper levels.
By reading up on the different types of tests available and the format for each exam, you can help your child be better prepared and more confident on the test day.
Practice and Prepare
You can do several things to help your child practice for their private school admission tests. You can help your child understand the content covered on the admission test. For instance, if the test covers math, make sure they are comfortable with the questions they can expect. Look for practice tests and content reviews online or in tutoring books.
In addition, you can help your child become familiar with the format of the entrance tests. Have them take a practice test under timed conditions so your child can get used to working within the time limit. If the test is going to be taken on a computer, ensure your child is comfortable using one. If the test is on paper, help them practice writing well within the lines.
Effective test-taking strategies can also help your child feel more confident and prepared on the test day. Have them practice identifying key words in questions to help them understand what is being asked. You can also teach them how to eliminate answers that are clearly wrong.
Make sure your child takes a practice test under the same conditions as the actual test. That way, they can eliminate any surprises on the test day.
