Roughly a week after the exam

In the case of 2019: You will receive an email on Tuesday 24 September 2019 with

the outcome of the Selective Eligibility Test.

It is the total score that determines whether your child has passed the test: so for

example, a very good performance in English can compensate for one that is a little

weaker in Maths. 

The rank order of the entrance examinations at each of these schools will be determined

based on the aggregate scores of the Selective Eligibility Test and the papers

which make up the second stage Entrance Examination.  For the specific ratio to be

applied for each school you are advised to look further at the websites of the individual

schools.

If your child meets the required standard for at least one participating school: You

will not be given any information regarding his/her scores but will be told that he/she has

met the required standard(s) and will be invited to second-stage testing (where

applicable).

If your child does not meet the required standard for any of the participating

schools: You will be given his/her standardized scores in both papers which will include

any appropriate age adjustment and their total score.

It is not possible to state a pass mark in advance of the test. The pass mark will be

decided by the participating schools after the test has been marked. Each School may

determine its own pass mark.

Please note: following the Selective Eligibility Test, no review or remarking of papers will

be available.

The Sutton schools write the Selective Eligibility Test themselves. The second stage

entrance tests are written by each individual establishment and will differ between

each school. Parents need to carefully check the relevant website to clarify further

details of each individual school’s admission criteria. 

The stage one test is prepared exclusively by GL Assessment for Tiffin School and

The Tiffin Girls’ School.

Advice: Check out the past papers of SET tests

GL stands for Granada Learning, and is the most common exam board used in 11+ exams.

CEM stands for the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring. It was developed by Durham University with a philosophy that access to tutoring should not benefit some students above others, and is therefore designed to be ‘uncoachable’.

The main differences include: - Preparation techniques,

- Vocabulary tested on each of the exams,

- Timing, Subject and Topic differences.
