The race for a Year 7 seat at Dubai’s ‘Ivy League’ schools (DC, JESS, DESC) begins early in Year 6. We explain the ‘Cognitive Cut-Off,’ the Creative Writing trap, and how to prep for the interview without sounding robotic.
Confused by the ‘GL Report’ attached to your child’s end-of-year results? We decode the acronyms PTM, PTE, and PTS, explain the ‘Adaptive’ testing model, and provide a glossary for the Stanine scoring system.

It is report card season in Dubai. We explain the difference between CAT4 (Potential) and GL Assessments (Attainment), decode the ‘Progress Test’ reports, and explain why Year 6 results determine your child’s secondary school classes.
Received a confusing CAT4 report from your child’s school? Don’t panic. We break down what ‘Standard Age Score’ (SAS) means, why Dubai schools use this data for streaming, and how to improve the often-neglected Spatial Reasoning score.
“In the Edexcel IGCSE Higher Tier syllabus, Graph Transformations involve modifying a function y=f(x) to change its position or orientation.2 Mastery relies on two fundamental rules: 1) Outside changes (f(x)+a, -f(x)) affect the y-coordinates and follow the expected logic (Vertical Translation, X-axis Reflection); and 2) Inside changes (f(x+a), f(-x)) affect the x-coordinates and behave in the opposite way to what is expected (Horizontal Translation, Y-axis Reflection). Translations are formally described using column vectors.”
“In the Edexcel IGCSE Higher Tier syllabus, Calculus (Differentiation) allows us to analyze the rate of change of curves. The fundamental rule is: if y = ax^n, then the derivative dy/dx = anx^{n-1}. This technique is used for three main purposes: 1) Finding the Gradient of a curve at a specific point; 2) Locating Turning Points (Maximum/Minimum) by setting dy/dx = 0; and 3) Solving Kinematics problems, where differentiating displacement (s) gives velocity (v), and differentiating velocity gives acceleration (a).”
