Brandon Learning Centre: British Education - process, preparation and practicalities

Even as adults, interviews are daunting so how do you help a young child to prepare for school interviews?  Here's a hint; avoid rote learning!  Here's another: join our online  charity webinar on the 15th August to learn about long term planning, ideas for online interviews, academic interviews and how to prepare for group interviews We'll be looking at ways of identifying your child's unique strengths and sharing tips to help them get the most from the interview experience. At the same time, we will be raising money for Hong Kong's needy elderly. Everyone wins! 

This is a video taken from our new pre-test practice tool . Hundreds of pre-test questions and tips for anyone who is sitting the ISEB, GL or UKISET tests. 

These videos are part of Badminton's virtual open day offerings. The school has taken a usual visit schedule and broken it into a series of videos. Again, not a replacement for a school visit but a good overview of a school in which a number of my past students have thrived. 

  This year, only one Hong Kong-based boy was chosen to join College, the prestigious scholars’ house at Winches ter College. He is Brandon and DBS student, Zachary. Only one Hong Kong-based boy was awarded an Exhibition, recognising academic excellence. He is a Brandon and GSIS student, Victor. Both boys are part of our selective Elite Scholars programme which trains our students to excel through lessons in critical thinking, writing, English, science, humanities, maths and even Latin. Our results speak for themselves. We have an incredible seven boys joining Winchester College Commoner houses in September and are very proud of all our boys and their teachers.  Congratulations to all our new Wykhamists!

For years now, we have been working on ways to help Brandon students excel in the ISEB Pre-test and UKISET. Now we are sharing our secret weapon! Pre-Quest is our new platform which provides hundreds of adaptive questions written by our teachers for each section of the ISEB Pre-test: English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning.  Each section is divided into units and each unit into different levels. Work your way through the levels using our tips and checking your answers as you go. Once you have finished, you can mix all the levels in a practice test. Not sure of your result? Try again and the questions will be different.  We have three stages - pre-test, pre-test plus and extension and all are provided in subscriptions which start at US$90 per month.  Conquer your pretest with Pre-Quest!  Watch our videos for overviews:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkKEw52lyyg - Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQoW8girr1o - Non-verbal reasoning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8
