The assessment
A professional assessment.In school. In about 45 minutes.
The applicant experience
Built to reveal ability, not test familiarity.
Every assessment is calibrated to the entry grade and curriculum your school uses: IB, British, American, Australian, and New Zealand. A Grade 4 applicant is not faced with secondary-level language or concepts.
Extended writing gives your assessors something a multiple-choice score never can: how the student constructs an argument under time.
Score composition
What we assess
Five components. One complete picture.
English
35% of score- ·Reading comprehension: calibrated passages and questions
- ·Extended writing: one open-ended prompt
- ·Scored on task completion, organisation, vocabulary and accuracy
English is a primary readiness signal. The writing task gives assessors a real sample of how the student thinks under time pressure.
Mathematics
35% of score- ·Core knowledge: number, algebra, geometry, data
- ·Applied problem-solving: multi-step word problems
- ·Written explanation so reasoning is visible
The written maths task shows whether a student can explain their thinking, a skill that matters in IB and inquiry-based programmes.
Reasoning
30% of score- ·Pattern recognition: sequences, matrices, analogies
- ·Verbal reasoning: logic, inference, classification
- ·Multiple choice only, no written component
Reasoning is the least susceptible to short-term tutoring. A strong score beside weaker English often flags a student who will thrive once settled.
Mindset
Contextual of score- ·Growth mindset inventory
- ·How the student approaches challenge
- ·Scored as strong, developing, or needs support
Mindset is context for the panel, not a gatekeeper. Strong growth orientation with borderline academics can still support an offer.
School Fit
Contextual of score- ·Open personal statement: why this school?
- ·Evaluated for authenticity, specificity and school knowledge
- ·Full narrative in the report for your assessors
Evalent flags coached responses, authentic motivation, and consistency with the rest of the assessment so your panel has usable context.
