ISEB Pre-Test Preparation Online Entrance Exam Tuition

Personalised Support for ISEB Pre-Test Success

The ISEB Common Pre-Test is a key step in applying to selective private and grammar schools in the UK and abroad. It is an online, adaptive, multiple-choice test taken in Years 6 or 7.

At LearningClubs, we specialise in 1-to-1 live online tutoring that mirrors the exact format of the ISEB Pre-Test. Our calm, supportive approach helps students build skills, confidence, and focus — without the stress.

What Does the ISEB Pre-Test Include?

The Pre-Test assesses four key areas:

Mathematics

Problem-solving, number fluency, and applied Maths skills.

Verbal Reasoning

Logic, patterns, and language-based problem-solving.

Non-Verbal Reasoning

Shapes, sequences, and spatial awareness

Because the test is adaptive, questions get harder or easier depending on the child’s answers — making preparation even more important.

Challenges Students Face

Many students struggle with the ISEB Pre-Test because:

It is computer-based and timed.
Time management is important.
The adaptive format feels unfamiliar.
Question styles differ from everyday schoolwork.

Without preparation, even strong students can underperform due to exam pressure.

How LearningClubs Prepares Students

Our tutoring is designed around the real ISEB Pre-Test experience:

Adaptive practice questions delivered online.
Exam strategies for timing, multiple-choice accuracy, and adaptive difficulty.
