How to prioritise assessment preparation (part 2)

If supporting your child to have the best education possible for them is one of your most important priorities right now, say no to everything else.

Say no to people telling you that what you are doing is wrong.

Say no to the noise.

You’re not doing anything wrong. You are supporting your child to have the best possible education. It is quite frankly one of the most important decisions that you will ever make as a parent.

I don’t take this lightly. I take it very seriously actually.

Many of you want to have ‘balance’. And sure, you can have balance of course. Of course your child needs to continue doing the things that they love to do.

If you give everything in your life equal attention however, guess what? It will most likely be mediocre at best. If you want to have amazing success in your child’s assessment, you need to make it a priority. It is very simple.

You will always have people who will tell you that they did absolutely nothing to support their children to be wildly successful at top schools like Westminster, St Pauls etc. They are liars. And also why would you boast about that? ‘I did nothing to support my child!’ Ok then.

If you want to gain momentum in the area of assessment preparation, you need to focus your attention on it for a specified period of time.

4+ = One year of focused attention

7+ - Two years of focused attention

11+ - Four years of focused attention

Give your full attention towards preparing your child to go into any assessment and have the highest possible chances for success.

If you want results, put in the work.

If you don’t want results, don’t. But then don’t complain about it. Please.

If it is your top priority to be very successful in any assessment, we would be delighted to speak with you. If not, carry on.
