Does anyone know the actual weighting of the marks by subject for Sutton? Wally Boys give the % contribution of each subject but I can't find this info for Sutton. Does anyone out there know? Thank you!

You don't have to "pass" each element separately, simply achieve the pass mark overall - but each of the three elements is equally significant, as I said.

admissionslady, are the tests standardised for age?

Age weighting is applied to the VR paper, which obviously has an impact on all papers as the scores are added together, and boys do not have to pass each element separately.
