The entrnace test comprises two exams.
Part 1 Exam 60 minutes: The Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning test will consist of a Mathematics questions booklet (30 minutes) and a Verbal Reasoning questions booklet (30 minutes)
Part 2 Exam 60 minutes: The English test will be set by the school and will include both reading and writing sections; 30 minutes for a comprehension section and 30 minutes for a creative writing task.
The Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics papers will be the first to be scored by the test provider, using Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) scanning technology. These results will then be combined to give an age-standardised score for each applicant, ranked in order, with rank 1 being the highest.
Applicants ranked between 1 and 700 in the combined age-standardised score for Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics will have their English papers marked by school staff. The raw English score will be added to the Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics scores by the test provider to produce re-standardised age-related results 3 for the top 700 cohort, with rank 1 being the highest position. Please note that once the re-standardisation process has been applied, there will be a variance to the original ranking positions. Applicants can move up or down the new ranking.
