Prince George, 10, will be taking a very important set of exams in November.
The youngsters is believed to be taking the ISEB Common Pre-Tests, or the ‘eleven plus’; exams typically taken in Year 6 by 10 or 11-year-old students.
These exams are used to assess a pupil’s aptitude and potential before application to secondary schools. The format usually comprises an English, mathematics, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning test.
The ISEB Common Pre-Tests are accepted as measures of a pupil by numerous eminent schools in the UK, including Eton and Marlborough College, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s respective alma maters.
Prince William spoke about George’s exams during his trip to Singapore for the Earthshot Prince when he explained why Princess Kate wasn’t able to join him.
He said during a speech at the United for Wildlife summit: “I should mention that Catherine is very sorry she can’t be here. She is helping George through his first set of major exams.”
