11 Plus Exam Pass Mark and Target Score
There is not a fixed pass mark for the admissions test, instead candidates must be in the top 500 places, in order of merit, to reach the required standard. Reaching the required standard does not guarantee the offer of a place, as places are typically over-subscribed. On average, 1,000 students sit the exam each year.
Other Exam information
All questions are multiple choice.
Students will sit two papers, each lasting 50 minutes.
