Pass the 7 Plus exam with our proven programme
Our bespoke 7 Plus Programme
The 7 plus exam is one of the hardest exams a child will take before their A levels. Tutoring agencies who claim that an hour a week is enough are misleading parents. We have developed a programme that offers a more holistic, thorough and comprehensive approach to 7+ preparation comprising baseline Academic Assessments, 1-2-1 tuition, mock exams, group holiday classes and interview practice. We do not run 7+ tuition in the home as we bring in specialist teachers for different aspects of the work and we find that children work better in a school environment. It is vital to build up stamina over time as the exams are at least two hours long and sometimes three hours long. Our classes are run out of schools in Dulwich and in Hampstead.
We strongly recommend that you join our programme through buying our comprehensive package which will give you the right base in terms of tutoring, handwriting and dictation, mock exams and interview practice. You cannot start early enough for these tough exams and you are most likely to pass if you start in Reception but we do take children later.
Weekend School
This is our recommended package which sees weekly 1-2-1 classes, in term time, for reception to year two by experienced 7+ specialist teachers
7 Plus Intensive Holiday Courses
We offer holiday courses at Summer and at Easter. We strongly recommend that all candidates sign up for all the courses. They cover different material.
7 Plus Mock Exams
The 7+ exams are much like formal public exams. It is vital that children practice for these exams. We offer fully invigilated and marked mock exams with the full theater of the 7+.

Can my child pass the 7+?
Take a Baseline Academic Assessment
We strongly recommend that if you are considering entering your child for 7+ exams, you check that they are a suitable candidate. This is because you may be wasting your time and money and putting your child through unnecessary stress. Even if they are suitable, it is likely they will be stronger in one academic discipline than another and it is important to know where to target any support efforts.
Our Academic Assessment is taken in partnership with Cambridge University Education Research Department (CEM). The assessment itself is a digital test and gives you a quantitative view of whether your child is a credible candidate for the 7+.

Is the 7 Plus right for my child?
At Mentor we believe the 7+ is the hardest school entrance point and certainly not one to be undertaken without much thought. Unlike the assessments schools set for entry into their Reception year, which are designed to appear as play sessions to the children, the 7+ is a formal set of exams. Many children are simply not emotionally mature enough to face these hurdles at the age of six. Think hard about whether your child is resilient and mature enough to sit for tests of these nature. If you want to go ahead, our programme is the most comprehensive of its kind and we boast excellent results each year.
Our 7+ Track Record
Typically the acceptance rate for most 7+ exams is around 5%. For children who enrol into our full programme, our acceptance rate is 40%.
