Entrance examinations

Many schools conduct entrance examinations as part of their admission process. These exams assess a candidate's academic readiness and help schools make fair, merit-based admission decisions. But for children and parents who are unfamiliar with what to expect, entrance exams can feel daunting.

In this thread, let us demystify the entrance examination process. What subjects are typically tested? What level of difficulty should a candidate expect? How can children best prepare? Are there past questions or sample papers available?

If you are a school administrator, share what your school's entrance exam covers and how candidates can access preparation materials. If you are a parent whose child has recently sat an entrance exam, share what the experience was like and what advice you would give.
