ST OLAVES TEST

I find there appears to be very little on the forum about the St Olave's test and Newstead test which take place in November. I know they do a maths paper, and an English paper but I am not sure how the marks are divided for the English paper and whether it is mainly creative writing or comp or VR. Can anyone shed any light and what prep they found useful? Thanks so much

Hi,
I dont know if you've seen these sample questions on their website
http://www.saintolaves.net/?p=admissions/year7/sample
Also they state that they wont publish any requirements before their open day on 26th September where all the forms & info will be handed out.

Thanks rosered100. The last time I checked the site the sample questions weren't there so that's good to know! Clearly VR and NVR prepping for this school will be time wasted - lots of creative writing and reading (easier said than done with my DS) is the order of the day!
