How academic scholarships usually work
Schools usually decide from the entrance exam, sometimes with an extra scholarship paper, and an interview.
- Ask whether the entrance exam counts or whether there is a separate scholarship paper.
- Ask for past papers, or the style of paper if the school does not share them.
- Practise talking through reasoning out loud, because interviews often test how a child thinks.
