Recently, I often hear domestic parents and friends say that now they need to take exams to enter the first grade of primary school, and at present, the private primary schools have to test both parents and students, and parents also have a headache, because the first-grade curriculum is already very difficult, forcing parents to start filling in various subject knowledge at the age of 4 or 5, so do you need these exams to go to the UK?

Today we will talk about whether there is a need for exams at a young age in the UK?

When it comes to British education, there is no doubt that schools are relatively old, and each private school will have its own positioning and teaching characteristics, and they will set the entrance test standards according to their own teaching style. Some private schools also have very high entry requirements, and in order to ensure the quality of students' teaching, students need to strengthen their math and reading comprehension skills. At the same time, students' knowledge reserves should also surpass their peers.

I would like to remind you that the UK school system is different from China. The domestic school system is one year later than the foreign school system, and you must not wait until you have a temporary plan to go abroad to find a school to start registering for the exam, otherwise it will be late, and the school has already ended the examination admission.

The British school system is more complex and complex, each stage will face the entrance exam, the content of the exam is different from each school, after signing up, we must carefully understand the exam instructions, it is recommended to find a professional training institution or experienced teachers to help understand the basic content of the past exams.

As a world-class country with a first-class level of education, the UK has always adhered to an orthodox and rigorous image, attracting international students from all over the world.

1.Quality of education.

The British education system has developed for hundreds of years, and the education system has a long history, many of which are century-old institutions, and most of the students in British public schools are elites in various fields in the United Kingdom, rich in gentlemen and ladies. British elite education, focusing on personalized training, high school admission rate, flexible curriculum arrangement, good learning atmosphere, can choose subjects to take the exam according to their own conditions.

2.The duration of study is short.

The duration of study is short, and most master's degrees are 1 year, which is more economical and affordable than Australia and the United States. However, it does not affect the gold content of the master's degree in the UK, and you only need to pass the A-level exam and get the results to apply for studying in the UK, which can be said to be quite convenient.

3.There are a variety of professional options.

In the UK, you can choose from more than 14,000 courses and more than 37,000 qualifications. No matter what your current qualifications are, you can find the right course for you.

4.Reduction in overall costs.

As a result of Brexit, the pound has fallen a lot, simply put, tuition fees are relatively cheaper, and the cost of living in the UK will be reduced accordingly.

5. The learning and living environment is superior and safe.

The British legal system is perfect, the social environment is relatively safe, most of the British private secondary schools can be boarded in the school, food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken care of by the school, and relatively young students do not have to worry.

1. 13+ Entrance Exams.

After completing the eighth grade, you must take the entrance exam to be able to successfully enter your target school to receive the ninth grade course, and because most of the students who take the exam are about 13 years old, it is called the 13+ exam.

It is also because some schools admit 13+ students, such as the top schools in the UK. Therefore, parents of interested students should pay attention to understand the examination time of each school, including the content of the examination.

Compulsory subjects include English, Maths and Science, and some schools will take others. Candidates can choose supplementary subjects such as foreign language, geography, history, religion, etc.

2. 11+ exams for junior high school.

This is a college entrance exam held after the completion of the sixth grade of elementary school, because most students are about 11 years old, so it is also called the 11+ test, which is the default entrance exam to determine whether everyone will enter a public middle school or a private middle school in the future.

The exam is usually held in September, which happens to be the summer vacation after everyone completes primary school, and everyone has about three months to prepare for the exam, and of course the school will also give some training.

The curriculum of the exam is mainly four subjects, including mathematics, English, language logic and logical thinking, and the content will cover the entire sixth grade of the school, and everyone needs to review systematically, and the duration of the exam will be determined according to the school.

3. High school 16+ exams.

Only students who have passed the 16+ exam can enter high school, and students need to take the school's self-propelled exam one year in advance, and the content is generally based on the GCSE, A-level syllabus.

There are systematic differences in the teaching of China and English, although the difficulty of the exam is not great, but domestic students still have to study systematically in order to have a good foundation to take the exam and pass it successfully.

11+ is an elementary school entrance examination for elementary school students to enter junior high school at the beginning of the sixth grade (autumn), and it is an optional test for public grammar junior high schools (grammarschool) and private middle schools (privateschool) equivalent to "key high schools", and they are just 11 years old when they go to middle school. The vast majority of grammar school exams are held in the sixth grade, usually in September of the sixth grade, and the school is entered in advance of the seventh grade (roughly equivalent to the age of 11). Some schools even hold exams earlier.

The specific content of the exam is mainly tested in four subjects - mathematics knowledge, English (including reading and comprehension, writing, lexical phonics, etc.), thinking logic and language logic, and the content includes the knowledge points of the six Qiao Zhen grades and even the seventh grade, so you must be well prepared. In addition, the time of each exam depends on the explanation of the school. The ISEBPRE-Test (Independent School Examination Board) and the Common Entrance Examination (CE) are the most commonly used tests in independent schools in the UK.

There is no unified examination office or examination board in the UK, so different types of schools will agree on the tests provided by different examination boards or examination boards.

The full name of ukiset is ukindependentschoolsentrytest, that is, the entrance test of British private schools, which can also be abbreviated as the "translation test", which is equivalent to the "IELTS" test of British primary and secondary schools. At this stage, there are nearly 300 independent schools in the UK that agree with the UKISET results, and about 90 of them make the UKISET results a must.

The UKISET test is conducted in the form of a computer-based test, the time is 1h45min, and the number of question types and difficulty coefficients of each part will be adjusted according to the candidate's task completion, and the test conclusion will be issued within 3 working days. The cost of ukiset is 295 RMB, which includes applying for registration, assigning a test date, proctor fee, etc. UKISET is adjusted to participate once every 4 months, the results are valid for 1 year, and 5 schools can be run with more ukiset scores, and an additional 50 yuan fee will be added for each vacant one.

11+ is the primary school entrance examination taken by elementary school students at the beginning of the sixth grade (autumn), and it is the selection test of the public grammar middle school (Grammar School) and the private school (Private School).
