A question for Sutton's new Admissions Lady (person)

[999 mum]

Hi,

I have just read the FAQ on the website, and just wanted to clarify.

"The first stage (eligibility) test will consist of two multiple choice papers.

A reasoning paper, which will be mostly verbal reasoning, but with some non-verbal reasoning and maths questions included.
An English paper, covering spelling, grammar and comprehension.
The second stage (ranking) test will consist of two written papers.

Maths
English essay"

Will the ranking be done purely on the second stage results or will a percentage of the ranking score be from the first stage?

thank you

Look forward to hear from Admission Lady (previous or the current). My understanding is that the allocation will be based on the 2nd test only.

I think I have the answer for you - I asked original Admissions Lady before she left!

This is her response

"Yes, the second round results will be combined with the first round results to give an overall score. In fact, the essay score will be combined with the English multiple choice score to give an overall English score, then each of the three elements will be equally weighted."

Hope that helps but if new Admissions person has any other information then please let us know

Thanks, 2outof3. It is very clear now.

Thank you for the info, I wonder if the new person would like to confirm this info or may be change the website to reflect this.
