The Perse Prep Exam Styles
The school evaluates all applicants for admission in the academic year preceding their enrollment. The assessment covers English (comprising reading, writing, and comprehension), Mathematics (including a general paper and mental math section), and reasoning (encompassing verbal and non-verbal aspects). Although the school does consider applicants performing at least one year above the national average, it also values a child's potential and their overall academic curiosity. While undergoing the testing process, children will have an informal meeting with the Head, although no formal interview is conducted.
