Assessments
Support to prepare for assessments and tests that form part of a schools’ admissions process to ensure success!
Mock tests and practice modules are computer-based and test how an individual can think in areas that are known to make a difference to learning and achievement.

We will suggest the appropriate test based on the goals.
Our assessments do not measure how much a student has learned, but focus instead on a student’s ability to display cognitive abilities associated with academic success.
Our various tests are designed to familiarise students with the online format, style and content so they feel confident and prepared for the actual assessment.
We offer tests for students aged 3 to 17.
Most tests are online and include a full report: HK$2,800
What is involved in the tests?

Verbal Reasoning: involves words. These appear in the form of verbal classifications & analogies.
Non-verbal Reasoning: involves shapes and patterns. These appear in the form of figures & matrices.
Mathematical: involves numbers. These appear in the form of number analogies & series.
Spatial Reasoning: mentally generating and transforming visual images. These appear in the form of figures.
A little practice is a good thing. Familiarity with the type and style of questions can make all the difference.

Tests for UK Schools
You will learn the true potential of your child and understand where hidden factors may be affecting performance. Your report provides a more complete picture than curriculum tests can provide by themselves. You may choose a test benchmarked against the UK national performance and include KS2, GCSE and A-level indicators. Or, a test more commonly used in the US, benchmarks a student’s academic skill level over a given period of time.
Individual Score
You will receive individual scores for your child's verbal, non-verbal, spatial and quantitative reasoning, enabling you to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and how much support they may need to catch up.
The results will enable you (and our consultants) to make informed decisions on next steps.
Standard Age Score
This is the most important piece of information and is based on the student’s raw score adjusted for age and placed on a scale that makes a comparison with a nationally representative sample of students of the same age across the UK. The average score is 100. The SAS is key to benchmarking and tracking progress and is the fairest way to compare the performance of different students within a year group or across year groups.
The National
Percentile Rank (NPR)
This relates to the SAS and indicates the percentage of students obtaining any particular score. NPR of 50 is average.
NPR of 5 means that the student’s score is within the lowest 5% of the national sample; NPR of 95 means that the student’s score is within the highest 5% of the national sample.
