Ernest Bevin College, Year 6 Test, 11 Plus Exam Format

 

Ernest Bevin College uses the Wandsworth Year 6 Test as part of its selective admissions process. The test is designed to provide the school with an indication of each student’s academic ability. Selective places are then awarded to students with the highest scores.

 

The Wandsworth test is prepared by the exam board GL Assessment and includes a non-verbal reasoning test (55 minutes long), and a verbal reasoning test (50 minutes long).

 

Students will have the chance to take a short practice session before the exam begins. There will also be a break between the two tests. Both papers are presented on a pre-printed answer sheet, in multiple-choice format. Papers are marked electronically and are age-standardised.

 

More information on the Wandsworth Year 6 Test is provided on the local authority website.

 

Test results are emailed to parents in October and offers are sent out in March. After accepting a place at the college, students and parents are invited to attend a non-academic interview. After the interview, students can ask any questions they have about the college, order their uniform, and meet their form tutor and class mates.
