Are you smarter than Prince George? Try and answer these three questions
RECKON you are smarter than Prince George? You can now try your hand at his exam questions to put yourself through your paces.
Prince William revealed that wife Kate Middleton wasn’t by his side during his recent Singapore tour for a very good reason – she was helping Prince George with the exam prep.
Dad-of-three William shared during an Earthshot speech: “Catherine is very sorry she can’t be here. She is helping George through his first set of major exams.”
The 10-year-old prince is due to sit his ISEB exams, which consist of English, Maths, Verbal, and Non-Verbal reasoning.
The ISEB exams are similar to the 11+ and Prince George’s results will be sent to prospective secondary schools to see if he can gain a place there.
While elite school Eton is tipped to be a leading choice for George, which is where Prince William and Prince Harry went, other top choices could include Harrow, Radley and Winchester.
James Mitchell, the co-founder of Think Tutors, told Hello!: “The competition is like getting into Oxford.
“There are students in the public eye who Eton rejects even with a similar standing to Prince George and so Eton is probably one of the only schools in the country where they don’t need donations, they need the best students that they can possibly get.
“For Eton, you have the pre-test to begin with, and Jonathan Perry, the headmaster of Lambrook will provide him a letter and providing the reference is strong and he scores a decent score in the ISEB pre-test of around 124 which would be quite safe. So providing he scores 124ish in the test, it is likely he will be invited back for the Eton test.”
The first set of ISEB tests take place after the October half term, and James predicted a second stage test for George would take place “in late April early May as well as an interview at the college.”
So with that in mind, how do you reckon you’d fare when faced with ISEB questions like George?

Earlier this year, George was shown around prestigious Eton College yesterday — suggesting he is set to follow in his father’s footsteps.
The future King was joined by dad William and mum Kate as he explored the £45,000-a-year boys-only school.
If he wishes to go to Eton, where pupils start aged 13, they must act fast.
Parents of prospective pupils have to register an interest three years in advance as the school is so sought-after and George will be ten next month.
At present, he goes to Lambrook in Ascot, Berks, with sister Charlotte, eight, and brother Louis, five.
William and Kate, both 41, moved from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor last summer so the children would be nearer the school.
Windsor Castle is only a short walk from Eton, which was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI.
As pupils, Princes William and Harry, now 38, would often walk back to the castle for tea with the late Queen.
King Charles, 74, did not go to Eton and was sent to Gordonstoun in Moray, Scotland which he disliked and referred to as “Colditz in kilts”.
There have been rumours the Wales’s were also considering Kate’s former school, Marlborough College, Wilts, for their children’s education.
