Interview Preparation and 11+ Mock Exams
Preparing for the Interview Stage
At many leading independent schools, the interview is just as important as the written exam. Schools want to get a sense of the child behind the paper – how they think, communicate and present themselves.
Our 11+ interview preparation sessions help children in Primrose Hill prepare for this crucial stage. Through one-to-one coaching and group practice, we support them in answering confidently, thinking aloud, and expressing their interests and ideas clearly.
Children learn to:
- Talk confidently about themselves, their hobbies and school experiences
- Engage in thoughtful conversation with adults
- Use positive body language and eye contact
- Practise calm, clear responses under light pressure
These skills take time to build, which is why we offer interview prep year-round, even for students who aren’t already receiving tutoring from us.
The Importance of 11+ Mock Exams
Many children have never sat a formal exam before the 11+, so it’s no surprise that exam-day nerves can affect performance. That’s why we offer realistic 11+ mock exams that simulate the real thing.
Held under strict timing and conditions, our mock exams help children practise time management, focus and exam stamina, all key ingredients for success on the day.
Every child receives:
- Exam papers matched to GL, CEM or school-specific formats
- An authentic timed exam setting
- Detailed performance feedback with next-step recommendations
- Targeted support to fill any remaining gaps in knowledge or technique
Mock exams are one of the most powerful tools for final-stage preparation.
