Tiffins Second Stage
Hi all - just got the email below....
Dear Parent
Your son **** has been invited to attend the Second Stage Test for entry into Tiffin School in September 2016.
• The Second Stage Testing takes place on Tuesday 10 November.
• Your son will need to be at the London Road gate of Tiffin School by 8.15am.
• He will be taking three exams – reading comprehension, writing, and maths.
• He will need to bring, biro or fountain pen, pencil, and eraser.
• There will be breaks between the papers.
• We expect the exams to be finished by 12.20pm approximately.
Further details regarding actual seating will be emailed on Tuesday 3 November.
I didn't realise there were 3 exams.... Read comp too. Will be a long morning for the boys.
Any advice from parents with experience on what we can do to prepare?

I got the mail too...
Wondering what includes in reading comprehension... i am feeling they may give a passage to the kids and let them read it for a minute or two.
Advices please...

Re: Tiffins Second Stage
Ok, with a little research, i understood that its a normal comprehension passage that they skipped in the first stage...
But, will it be multiple choice or standard type...?

Stage 2 exam seems to be similar to what Tiffin Girls have been doing since 2012.

The comprehension will be standard, not multiple choice.
