Obsess with 4+ success at NLCS
/Last year, we prepared a record number of girls for their 4+ assessment at NLCS.
8 to be precise.
6 were offered a place.
Most of these girls will be going to NLCS this year.
We are so proud of all our girls. They all worked so incredibly hard.
Being offered a place at NLCS is definitely not easy. Far from it. With at least 500 applicants and only 40 places on offer, your daughter must be prepared to the highest of standards to truly go in and shine.
If you want to know the type of girl who passed the NLCS 4+ assessment this year, read on!
Now, I’m obviously not talking about all girls who passed this NLCS 4+ assessment but I am talking about 6 that did. Most of the 6 girls who passed had at least 12 months of assessment preparation. That’s the first thing that I will tell you. Only one of them did not. One of the girls had 3 months of assessment prep with me personally. What she then did with her parents, obviously only they will know but clearly they did an exceptional job!
Therefore 5 of our girls who passed had at least 12 months of 4+ assessment preparation. Several had way more than this!
I would say that what really set my clients apart from other parents that I would speak to about NLCS is truly that they were obsessed with being successful at this school. It was their dream school. To get their daughters into NLCS was something that they truly wanted for them.
The other thing that really set our clients apart from other clients is that they never made excuses. They were rarely negative about the 4+ preparation process. They really embraced it. They loved it. Their daughters loved it. They did the learning and they wanted more, more, more.
This obsession is truly something that I admire in my clients. I feel the same when it comes to my son. I am obsessed with his learning. I am obsessed with seeing the progress that he makes every single day. I am obsessed with providing him with the best of the best - always.
The girls who passed the NLCS 4+ assessment this year were all confident girls (some quietly confident), highly intelligent girls, girls who demonstrated exceptional listening skills and girls who were resilient and persevered at the more challenging tasks. Does this mean that the girls who didn’t pass did not show these traits? Not necessarily. Several of the girls who we personally prepared who did not pass, passed at Habs for example or at Westminster.
If you are preparing for NLCS for 2027 entry, you have exactly 10 months remaining to prepare your daughters. Included in those 10 months will be holidays and sickness so 10 months turn into 8 months most likely. I don’t think 8 months is enough time to prepare for the 4+ at NLCS but it’s better your start now then keep putting it off.
