Familiarisation Tests
In 2019 the PTFA will again be running a series of ‘Familiarisation Tests’ or ‘mock exams’ to give both boys and girls currently in Year 5 an opportunity to experience what it is like to sit an 11+ Entrance Examination.
The tests are designed to provide a learning experience for your child, helping to prepare them for what they will encounter when sitting real entrance exams.
We will be holding morning and afternoon sessions on the following dates in 2019:
You may book either test for your child or you may wish to consider booking both tests. Please note that when booking you may book multiple dates for the same child before paying, however if you are booking for more than one child you will need to book and pay for each child separately.
Test results
Test A results will be published shortly after the completion of all Test A sessions; similarly Test B results will be published after all Test B sessions have finished.
An overview of each child’s results will be sent out by email to the email address used when making the test booking. In addition, results for all candidates will be published on this website by candidate number and will be available for download in both pdf and Excel formats.
The following feedback will be provided for each child: Raw scores in English and Maths
Standardised score in English and Maths and a combined overall score
A breakdown of the child’s score by topic for both the English and Maths papers to help identify areas where the child did well or where perhaps more attention is required
Feedback on the number of questions for which no mark was awarded due to either no answer or multiple answers being provided
To help understand each child’s performance relative to those sitting each test the following information will also be published: The standardised score for each candidate by candidate number together with each child’s relative ranking within the cohort sitting the test
The average raw English and Maths scores
The test papers are the property of the PTFA and will not be made available to parents, tutors or any third party
