Two multiple choice tests, 45-50 minutes each which is split up into smaller timed sections.

Each paper will test:
Verbal ability (tests vocabulary, comprehension, verbal reasoning)

Numerical reasoning (tests the ability to solve mathematical problems)

Non-verbal reasoning (tests the ability to see how objects relate to each other)

Passing criteria
In standardised score of 121 or more was set by CEM in agreement with the grammar schools. A pupil’s score on all 6 sections of the two tests are added together and the total score is then age standardised .

The score will be the sum of:
50% of the standardised score of the verbal sections
30% of the standardised score of the numerical sections
20% of the standardised score of the non-verbal sections

The current process produces standardised scores of between 0 and 199. Around 30% achieve the qualifying score of 121.

For children who do not attain a score of 121 or more, can ask for a Selection Review.

A Selection Review is an opportunity for your to explain in writing to a panel of Headteachers why your child is suited to a grammar school.
