The Secondary Transfer Test
The Secondary Transfer Test measures English, verbal, non-verbal and mathematical skills.
Children sit two test papers, each about 60 minutes long, with a break between.
There is also a shorter practice test, usually taken two days before the main test, to help children learn what to expect.
The Secondary Transfer Test is produced by GL Assessment.
