ISEB Common Assessments
Here we have compiled admissions information about the schools that use the ISEB Assessment to judge a pupil's suitability for entrance to their school.
There are two points in the year which pupils can take the ISEB Common Pre-Tests, January and November. Most pupils take the exam in January, but some schools prefer to have the exam sat in November.
The ISEB assessments provide a standardised score to measure ability, meaning that younger pupils will have to score fewer marks to achieve the same result. The tests contain Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning sections.
The English section should take 25 minutes (including time to read the comprehension passage).
The Maths section should take 50 minutes.
The Verbal Reasoning section should take 36 minutes.
The Non-Verbal Reasoning section should take 32 minutes.
In terms of practice, prep schools generally start getting pupils ready for these exams 2 years in advance. The taking of the tests will usually be arranged by the prep school, and the administration is dealt with by the senior schools.
If you would like more information about the tests taken at this age, feel free to browse our information section. You could also get some more detailed information about the 11+.
