Knowing what came up in the 4+ Assessments will not help you...
/Unless you know about it 12 months before…
Now, that’s different isn’t it? And also, it’s still really not that helpful as you will only hear snippets of what came up and not the full picture of what truly came up. The nuances of what is actually being assessed etc.
But if you’re hearing about it now and your child’s 4+ assessment is next week, how on earth will that information help you?
My clients are sending me snippets of what came up in my students’ 4+ Assessments which is very kind of them but it’s really of no use to me. You see, I know exactly what will come up at each individual school that we prepare for. So what they tell me doesn’t ever surprise me. It’s never anything new. Every year for the last 2 decades the assessments really haven’t changed (we just become better and better at preparing children to be successful in them!)
I have been doing this for over 2 decades.
Of course, I love to hear what my students had to do and what they got up to and how they found it but apart from those reasons, that information is of no use to me.
Yet, so many of you seem to find it useful. You are so intrigued by it. You are so curious to know what exactly came up.
Some of my own clients have messaged me this month to ask me what came up in this and that assessment. And my answer is always the same…
What we have covered in our CMT Curriculum Programme.
Why would it be any different?
An assessment is an assessment. You revise for what will come up. And that is exactly what we do here at CMT.
Knowing that your friend’s son who lives down the road from you was asked to complete a puzzle , lego and play doh will really not help you. Knowing that your sister’s cousin’s neighbour’s daughter was asked to write her name will really not help you. What will you do with that information exactly?
Learning puzzle skills takes months and months and months.
Learning lego skills takes months and months and months.
Learning to write their names can take years!
If you know that your child will need to attend a 4+ assessment, start from as early as 17 months of age to prepare them. Give them the edge that they need to surpass any other child in any top, prestigious school.
That is exactly what we do here at CMT. Yes, we prepare for 4+ Assessments but it goes far deeper than that. We support children with their development. We teach them to adore learning. We teach them to be able to read by the age of 3. We teach them to have the strongest mathematical grounding. We provide the best of the best for each and every one of our students in an individualised and bespoke way. 1:1 support will help your child to truly reach their truest potential. And that is exactly what I want for all of our students.
