Tiffin School does not publish its own past papers. The papers change significantly from year to year; changes usually include the number of questions on each paper, the time allocated for the different papers, and the types of questions assessed. Every year, completely new papers are written. There are many past 11+ papers from other selective schools and other sources freely available on the internet. Although some exam paper practice may be helpful,

The Stage Two Tests assess English and maths and are similar in length to the Stage One Tests. They require written answers and some questions on the English paper will require longer written answers. Answers are marked by experienced maths and English teachers.
When setting the admissions tests, Tiffin School assumes that those sitting the tests will have completed the National Curriculum in English and mathsfor Year 5 students when they sit the tests. Tiffin School does not expect students to have covered topics beyond this. However, the admissions tests will include some questions in unfamiliar formats that will provide boys with the opportunity to demonstrate their adaptability. The tests identify boys who enjoy and are confident reading, writing, thinking creatively, working with numbers, and problem-solving.
