Which paper style is used???
Hello All,
I would like to understand which style papers are used for our selective schools???
I know the stage one SET is based on math and English multiple choice. But can anyone help me understand what style of paper is set eg. CEM or GL assessment ?????
Also can someone guide as to how to prepare for the second stage tests for Nonsuch , Wallington and Tiffins
Completely confused mom

Correct, but OP has previously posted about going to tutors.

Re: Which paper style is used???
I vaguely remembered, then found the post, as I had replied to OP about TGS catchment.
Coming back to the question, I believe that SET is more like GL, rather than CEM. But there could be different type of questions in English like cloze etc as well, which are not in GL papers.
For stage 2, you need to cover all of KS2 and a bit of even KS3. English needs good creative writing and comprehension skills. Maths need good word problem and logic skills.
All the best for the test preparation.
Are you now in KT4?

They were a bit of a hybrid. For stage 2 the schools make up the tests and do not follow a format as such
The English has to be very good specifically the creative writing.
