Exam Information

Exam style — ISEB Common Pre-Test.

Exam types:

  • English (reading comprehension, sentence completion, spelling and punctuation).

  • Maths (in line with the National Curriculum up to Year 5).

  • Verbal reasoning (common words, antonyms, word combinations, letter transfer, number codes, etc.).

  • Non-verbal reasoning (shape analogies, classes like, horizontal codes, etc.).

Exam length — 4 exams totalling 2.5 hours.

Pass mark —  There is not a fixed pass mark for the admissions test. On completion of the test, all candidates receive an age-adjusted and standardised score. The average score is 100. Schools will also be able to see each child’s score and the time taken for each section of the test.

If a child does well in their 11+ pre-test, they will usually be offered a place, contingent on them then passing the common entrance exam at 13+.

Other exam information: 

  • The tests cover English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning separately.

  • All tests are completed online.

  • All questions are in multiple-choice format.

  • The English test takes 25 minutes, mathematics 50 minutes, non-verbal reasoning 32 minutes and verbal reasoning 36 minutes.

  • The four tests can either be taken together or at separate times. They can be taken in the candidate's own school, at the senior school for which he or she is entered or at an independent testing centre.

  • All candidates are registered by the senior school(s) for which they are entered.

  • Test results are available to all senior schools which register the same candidate and therefore a candidate need only sit the tests once for a range of senior schools.

  • An assessment fee of £24 applies and is non-refundable.
