Navigating UK private school admissions can be complex — especially when preparing for competitive entry exams such as the 11+, 13+, and Common Entrance. At Truman and Tring, we provide bespoke preparation and expert guidance for families worldwide. 

Whether your child is sitting UK school admissions tests in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, mathematics, or English, our team ensures they are fully equipped and confident. We also support students taking Cambridge CEM assessments and adaptive admissions testing, offering a comprehensive service tailored to your child’s strengths, learning style, and aspirations.

Independent schools in the UK often require rigorous admission tests that assess various academic skills and cognitive abilities, including verbal reasoning, which measures reading comprehension, vocabulary, and logical thinking; non-verbal reasoning, which assesses pattern recognition, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills; mathematics, which tests numerical ability and understanding of mathematical concepts; and English, which evaluates reading and writing skills, including grammar, punctuation, and creative writing.

Our global leader in entry assessments is renowned for its expertise in educational evaluation, with assessments recognised for their fairness, accuracy, and ability to predict students' future academic performance. Key features of these assessments include adaptive testing, which personalises the experience by adjusting difficulty based on student responses; comprehensive coverage, ensuring a well-rounded evaluation of student abilities; and data-driven insights, providing detailed feedback for informed decision-making.

Truman and Tring are collaborating with this global leader to develop innovative entry admission assessments and a pioneering personality test. This collaboration focuses on aligning test content with the curriculum by integrating verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, mathematics, and English; creating a holistic personality test to assess traits such as resilience, motivation, creativity, and social skills through pilot testing to ensure reliability and validity; and implementing training programs for teachers and administrators while developing support resources to help students prepare.

The new entry admission and personality assessments offer multiple benefits, including enhanced fairness and accuracy through adaptive testing, holistic evaluation by integrating multiple skill areas and personality traits, more informed admissions decisions through detailed feedback, improved student preparedness with support resources, and deeper insights into students' traits to aid in personalised educational planning.
