Please if anyone can help me my daughter is attending the entrance exam for Malvern St James. Please can anyone give me an idea of the make up of the tests and the interview process??

Thank You

My daughters sat several entrance exams at both 11+ and 13+ (inc. Malvern St James) and my experience is that most schools are trying to achieve the same thing ie. look for a rounded sound knowledge of essential Maths and English skills and then the verbal reasoning test. The interviews (usually with the Head) are a way of finding out more about their outside interests ie music, sport etc.

You can get practice 11+ packs and VR tests. We did one of each with the girls just to get the used to the pressure of a 'timed situation' as this was oen they not familiar with.

PS They are both doing very well at MSJ
