Testing Procedure All tests will take place at The Latymer School and can only be taken once at the beginning of Year 6.
Registered applicants will be invited to sit tests in Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning and English. Applicants are expected to show competence in skills appropriate to Key Stage 2 English and Mathematics. The Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning test will be one combined test paper of multiple-choice format set by GL Assessment. It will be 60 minutes in duration (30 minutes Mathematics & 30 minutes Verbal Reasoning) and the school will have no advanced knowledge of the content of this paper. The English paper will be set by the school and will include both reading and writing sections; it will be 60 minutes in duration (30 minutes reading an extract and answering questions & 30 minutes creative writing). The Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics papers will be scored first by the test provider using Optical Marking Recognition (OMR) scanning technology. These results will be combined to give an age-standardised result for each applicant in rank order (rank 1 being the highest position)
