Why Choose The Benchmark Edition?
Entering the UK system at Secondary level involves navigating two distinct and competitive routes: State Grammar Schools and Private Independent Schools. With critical entry points at 11+ and 13+, the landscape can feel impenetrable from the outside.
Developed by former Headteachers and education experts, we utilize the gold-standard Atom Learning technology—the same underlying engine used for the ISEB Pre-Test. This pathway is specifically designed for pupils in Years 4–8, as these are the critical "planning years" where families must secure their target schools before registration windows close.
We act as your strategic partner to provide an objective "Academic Health Check." This assessment translates your child’s current international performance into UK data, helping you compare the benefits of the Grammar vs. Independent sectors and pinpointing the specific curriculum "gaps" (such as Non-Verbal Reasoning) that must be closed to pass the entrance exams.
Why choose this assessment?
-
Global Calibration: "Grade 6" in Singapore or New York is not the same as "Year 7" in the UK. This tool calibrates your child against 100,000 UK students, giving you a definitive "Standardised Age Score" (SAS) to see exactly where they sit in the British system.
-
Pinpoint "Curriculum Gaps": International students are often academically strong but fail UK entrance exams because they haven't seen specific formats (like Verbal Reasoning). We identify these missing links immediately so you can fix them before the exam.
-
Admissions-Grade Data: UK Registrars rely on data, not just school reports. You will receive a professional Diagnostic Insight Report that acts as credible, independent evidence of your child’s ability, ready to be attached to your school applications.

How It Works
The Calibration (5 Mins)
Complete a streamlined intake form. We use your child's Date of Birth to strictly calculate their Correct UK Year Group (e.g., Year 6 or Year 7) to ensure they are being tested against the correct age standard.
The Access Key
You will receive your unique access link and code via email shortly. There is no software to install—simply log in to our secure portal on any laptop or tablet.
The Assessment
Your child completes the adaptive test from home (any time zone). It takes approx. 70–90 minutes, but they can pause and take a break between each subject module (English, Maths, Verbal, and Non-Verbal), ensuring they stay fresh.
The Results (48 Hours)
We analyze the data and deliver your full Bryant Education Pathways Diagnostic Insight Report directly to your inbox. You get the raw score, the UK national rank, and a clear list of priorities to focus on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Benchmark Edition and how we support your family's educational journey.
This is the most common question we face. Grammar Schools are state-funded and require passing a "Super-Selective" 11+ exam. Independent Schools vary hugely—ranging from very academic-focused "hothouses" to more nurturing, pastoral environments. This diagnostic provides the SAS data you need to see if a Grammar School application is realistic, or which type of Independent School is the best fit.
They might struggle initially, and that is exactly why we do this test. Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are core parts of UK entrance exams (like the ISEB Pre-Test), but are rarely taught internationally. The report will highlight these as "Curriculum Gaps." Once identified, we can use Bryant Education Pathways Precision Tutoring to teach these specific skills rapidly, ensuring your child is exam-ready.
Yes. The entire process is 100% digital. We have families taking this assessment from the USA, Middle East, and Asia. You do not need a VPN; just a standard internet connection and a laptop or tablet.
The UK system is strict about dates of birth (Sept 1st – Aug 31st). When you book, you simply input your child's Date of Birth, and our system will automatically calibrate the test to the correct UK Year Group. This is critical for secondary entry (11+ vs 13+).
"SAS" stands for Standardised Age Score, and it is the currency of UK admissions. Unlike a simple percentage, an SAS compares your child’s performance against the national average, strictly adjusted for their exact age. It is the metric Registrars use to filter candidates.
The report gives you the "what"—the specific gaps between their current curriculum and the UK system. To fix them, you have two clear options within the Bryant Ecosystem:
- Upgrade to a Pathway: If you need help creating a shortlist of target schools in Surrey, London, or Kent, upgrade to the Strategy or Blueprint editions. We will use this data to identify which schools still have places and match your child's profile.
- BEP Precision Tutoring: We combine industry-leading tutors with the industry-leading online learning platform to help your child bridge the gap. Our tutors use your diagnostic data to target the specific "UK-formats" that your child needs to master before the entrance exam.
The Benchmark Edition covers the Forensic Report only. This keeps the cost accessible. If, after reading the report, you feel you need to discuss the "Grammar vs. Independent" decision with a Director, you can simply pay the difference to upgrade to the Strategy or Blueprint editions at any time.
