Introduction

Oxford International School Bishkek is located in the capital city of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia. The school prides itself on offering a range of teaching programmes catered to students’ needs. The school uses Cambridge International Examination qualifications as its syllabus and operates within the standards of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS).

 

Oxford International aims to establish itself as the principal source for prestigious education programmes in the Kyrgyz Republic. The school is currently in the process of becoming an International Baccalaureate World School (IB). It offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities including basketball, chess, choir and cooking.

Oxford International School Admissions Criteria

Oxford International School uses a Cognitive Abilities Test as part of its admissions criteria for Years 7, 8 and 9. To learn more about the school’s admissions policy, parents can contact Oxford International directly at [email protected], or by telephone on +996 700 55 11 55.

How to Apply for Entry to Oxford International School

To apply for a place at Oxford International School, parents need to complete the school’s online registration form, which can be found on the school’s website, here. Applications are accepted from March onwards.

The Oxford International School Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) 

As part of the school’s admissions process, students applying for Year 7, 8 and 9 places are required to take a Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) in early May.

The Oxford International CAT provides the school with an indication of each student’s academic ability. It assesses students’ reasoning skills in four main areas:

 

– Quantitative reasoning

– Verbal reasoning

– Non-verbal reasoning

– Spatial awareness

 

Oxford International also uses the CAT as a predictor for exam results at the end of Year 11. The school uses the test to provide students with academic targets to work towards. Students with the highest CAT scores are offered reduced school fees.

How to Prepare for the Oxford International School CAT4 Assessment

When it comes to preparing for the Oxford International School CAT, organisation is key. For many students the CAT will be their first experience of taking an assessment under exam conditions.

 

At Pretest Plus, we would encourage students and their parents to get acquainted with the test structure and the type of questions that could be asked. Our post about independent school Cognitive Abilities Tests provide a good introduction to the test format. Additionally, we’d recommend reading the following resources from our blog:

How to Improve CAT Scores

 

One of the most effective ways for students to prepare for the CAT is to introduce practice tests and courses into their study. At Pretest Plus, we publish CAT practice tests and courses that are designed to improve students’ confidence in the lead up to their assessment. We have several 90-minute practice tests that contain 8 modules covering Verbal, Non-Verbal, Quantitative and Spatial Reasoning questions. Each module can be taken separately.

 

All of our tests are pitched at the same difficulty level and each one contains a different set of questions. The first practice test can be used to provide an indication of the student’s current cognitive abilities. The remaining tests can then be used as a way of measuring their progress as they work through a planned study schedule.
