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.
