Prep boys will now be offered Aptitude Tests in English and Mathematics: essentially the ‘launch pad years.’
We will begin aptitude testing in Prep School in English and Mathematics during the first few days of the new academic session.
Each test takes 45 minutes and no boy can prepare for them.
The tests are voluntary and will cost 2,700 rupees. The College makes no money from this exercise.
There is no way anyone can prepare for these tests and they will be optional as parents will be required to pay a small fee.
These tests will be externally validated by a highly regarded UK Educational Consultancy.
Aptitude testing has no bearing on promotion. It is an educational tool only.
Diagnostic results help us better target and measure teaching and learning and also determine ways in which individual boys might be taught more effectively via a range of teaching styles.
A report will be generated that will be shared with students as well as parents to guide us in how we can best help each boy to achieve better results
A permission form will need to be signed by relevant parents/guardians. The ‘tear-off’ section should be returned to the Bursar who will debit first term accounts.
Forms must reach the Bursar’s Office no later than Wednesday August 23.
Tests will take place after Eid. This is the only time during the year such tests will be held for Prep School.
