St. Olave’s Grammar School’s Selective Eligibility Test (SET)
11 Plus Exam Pass Mark and Target Score
The pass mark for each year is decided after the tests have been marked.
Other Exam information
There are two stages of tests. Only candidates who pass the first stage will be invited back for the second.
The initial Selective Eligibility Test (SET) consists of multiple-choice questions on English comprehension, mathematics, verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
The second stage consists of two exams:
English — one hour long, covering multiple choice comprehension questions and a creative/persuasive writing exercise or essay.
Mathematics — one hour long, covering a range of maths topics.
If there is a tie, it will be determined using the results of the mathematics paper, then the creative/persuasive writing, then the English comprehension and finally the SET.
