My daughter’s one of those who skipped Tier 1 assessment last year (applying for year 2). Later after we finished all the Year 2 assessments I had a chat with the admission staff and asked why we didn’t have to do Tier 1. She said it was because we passed Year 1 assessments the previous year and Tier 1 is mainly for tested the kids’ English Ability (which I don’t understand the correlation because Tier 1 is CAT4, it’s not just about English), so no need to test again the following year, hence Tier 1 was was skipped.

For my case, we didn’t apply late at all. I didn’t know anyone in person who applied late (after Tier 1 assessment has carried on) and could jump straight into Tier 2.

There are three rounds of assessments from Year 2 onwards.

Tier 1: CAT4
Tier 2: English writing and Maths
Tier 3: Comprehension and individual chat with the teacher

Could be 2 or 1 or no leaver at all. So if you pass the three tiers of assessment, you will be put on a waitlist according to the school’s priority system. The school will call according to the list if there’s a leaver.

If there’s no leaver after a year of wait (technically 6months only), then the school will invite you to next year’s assessment. The whole process loops again.

I heard that candidates are only allowed to retake the assessment two years later if they fail it.

Do you need to pay again if they don’t have vacancy for you and move you to another year assessment again?

Nope. If you pass but there’s no vacancy for you then you will be invited to the following year’s assessment and the assessment fee will be waived.

I only knew that if a kid failed to pass the assessments, then he/she could only be re-assessed after two years (as the school believes a child’s performance can’t have big improvement within a year based on its past experience).

Does that “2 years rule” apply to defer assessment (decides not to take the assessment after receiving the invite) as well?
