Hello

Does anyone know if they use same London venue for the initial tests for Christ's Hospital, if so where is it?

Me and DS live in Birmingham and it would be useful for me to know so I can plan my travel.

Thank you

I think as you are travelling quite a way then it would be reasonable to phone them up and ask, if you are booking trains you need some notice to get the better value tickets etc

My two boys are applying for a 2013 place. As yet we are waiting to hear whether they have been invited to attend the the initial test. Apparently invites will go out at the end of this week (reading that to mean before 5 October).

I am sure the test centre details will be included in that letter.

Hi there

Yes we received our confirmation letter and my DS will be taking the test next Saturday at CH. We have to be there between 1 and 1.30 finishing at 4pm with a little break in-between.

A veeeeerrrrrryyyy :shock: long day 4 and a half hours travel there and back!!! (thank you F & F railcard :D )

Once that is finished we have the KES exam to look forward to in January.

Thanks

Hello

Just got confirmation that the results will be out next week (w/c 12/11/12).

All DC who took the test will get their results regardless of whether they passed or not.

Thanks
