How to Prepare for the Seaford College 13 Plus (13+) Pre-Assessment

 

At Exam Papers Plus, we recommend that students follow a structured approach towards preparation for the 13+ Pre-Assessment. Such an approach includes practice tests, which consist of thoroughly researched and up to date questions that reflect a competitive examination format.

 

By covering all the key skills and the range of question types your child will encounter in the actual test, our practice tests will help them get used to answering questions quickly and effectively. More importantly, they will help identify any weaker areas that require additional work and attention. In this way, our practice tests will assist in boosting your child’s confidence. 

 

Practice tests ensure that candidates find the preparation process easily manageable and less demanding, and help parents and tutors come up with a carefully thought-out revision plan for their child that focuses on studying ‘little and often’.
