    • Preparation is key. Start thinking about the exams at least 12 months in advice.
    • Complete practice papers to get in the mindset for the true assessment.
    • Consider reading and writing exercises. A good comprehension of the English language is vital for the final assessment.
    • Look into publications for your target school. These provide insight into the type of school it is, and may also provide useful insights for the exam.
    • Lean on your tutor for support. Athena only works with the most accomplished tutors with adaptable teaching styles to help with 13 plus assessment revision and planning.
    The 13+ exam can be very challenging, and evaluates students across multiple difficulty levels, ranging from 1-3, with 2 being the most common level paper taken. Core subject include English, Maths and Science, so students should have a good grasp of each, as they will need to perform well in at least two of the three areas.
    All schools have different requirements for what is considered a ‘pass’ for the 13+, although most commonly a 60% score is considered selective, with a 70% score considered highly selective. No score guarantees entry, though, which is why it’s important that your teenager completes the exam in a way that meets the expectations of the school.
