Watford Grammar and Parmiters

Post by Hertfordshire Parent »

I have read some of the postings on this site about Watford Grammar for Boys. Both claim that the Entrance Tests are Multiple Choice. Have been told by Parmiters that the tests are Standard Format. I understood that Watford Grammars and Parmiters jointly administer the same tests, along with Rickmansworth School, Queens etc. Clearly, some of the information that I have been given is incorrect.

Can anyone clarify this for me. Thanks

Almost certainly multiple choice.

You should note the following link for Parmiters parents:

If in doubt please call the school at: 01923 671424 or Admissions Answerphone: 01923 677681; its important that you get the right information given the exams are this month.

type of exams for Parmiter's ans Watford Boys

Post by prospective watford dad »

I am also confused with the inconsistent information. Now that the exams have been held can someone clarify with certainty whether the tests are multiple choice or written answers.

As I understand it

1. Watford and Parmitters hav the same test.
2. The tests are in Verbal Reasoning and Maths.
3. Parmiters told me at the last open day that they were NOT multiple choice but one where the answer had to be written.

Can anyone confirm please
Thanks

To Propsective Watford Dad,

My daughter sat last Nov. When she came out she told me that most of the verbal reasoning questions were multiple choice, however this doesn't mean that they have a seperate sheet of A-E options to select just that there are various answer options given for each question.

Can also confirm

1. Watford Grammar and Parmiters do have the same test
2. They are Verbal Reasoning and Maths

Format changed recently - last year VR was 80 Q's in 50 mins, when my daughter sat last Nov it was 100 Q's in 45 mins :shock:
