Early next week I guess, especially if interviews start from next Thursday. Habs are cutting it fine. Is this normal? Presumably most people would require notice so to arrange time off school and work.

Cutting it very fine considering MTS were after HABS yet they managed to get results out in a few days. Let's make a sensible assumption of early next week. My DS is sitting City on Monday.

Funny how some schools haven't even had the exam - while others have already got interview letters out.

Also maybe HABS had a higher number of applicants so more papers to mark?

Especially as HABS 'interview' parents as well. Merchant Taylor's have not had a second sitting I believe yet but still managed to get interview letters out.

Think there were about 400 at MTS and about 600 at HABS. Does interview invitation for Habs come by post or email? Also, what is the format of the MTS interview?

no letter yet. Does anyone know how they select for interview? Is it the a percentage of the top aggregate scores or is it more subjective than that?
