Year 6 have been ‘exammed out’ over the last couple of weeks with both the T.C.I Middle School and the British West Indies Collegiate Year 7 entrance exams, but they still have one more set to go next week; their end of Year 6 UK National Curriculum S.A.Ts! They have worked exceptionally hard throughout and have never given up even though it has been hard-going at times. Well done each and every one of you.
Here are their class exam tips for those sitting these exams or others in the future:
- Wear your school uniform to set yourself to school mode.
- Sleep well before your tests – go to bed a little earlier than usual.
- Eat a good breakfast.
- The earlier the tests, the sooner they are over!
- Try not to over-think it.
- Check over your work.
- Try your best.
- Read the questions carefully.
- Work harder questions worth more marks.
- Don’t spend too long on a question, go back at the end to re-try.
- Do something fun after the tests to celebrate and have something to look forward to.
- There is always a school for you out there.
- And…….. RELAX!

All the secondary/middle/high schools have an entrance exam to Year 7 that the children must sit to be accepted. It is a tough time, with lots of decisions to be made, but we are always proud that our children prepare well, work hard and always do their very best.
