Re: about independent schools
Have you short listed any schools and do you have a girl or boy?
Generally most schools ask parents to first fill in a registration form and send it in with the registration fee, before a set deadline. Usually there's also a entrance exam but its contents vary depending on the school.Then there's an interview and you finally find out the results around march.

Re: about independent schools
Independent schools set their own entrance specs, so no two exams are the same. I'd look at the school nearest to you, make a shortlist of the ones you're interested in and then find out what they want. It can range from one exam to four, with or without an interview. Some have 10+ entry as well as 11+, some only have 13+, some have a linked prep, others have several feeder preps. Open days, visits, entrance exams are all at different times of the year - some do rolling open days frequently (e.g. Hampton) others do one and if you miss it, that's it.
