Welcome to the Admissions Toolkit for the ISEB Pre-Tests, the online entrance assessments used by leading senior schools as part of their admissions processes.

The ISEB Pre-Tests (11+) are a set of online, adaptive tests used by leading senior schools as part of their admissions processes. There are four parts to the Pre-Tests: English, mathematics, verbal reasoning (VR) and non-verbal reasoning (NVR).

On the following pages you will find a wide range of helpful information about registering and preparing for the ISEB Pre-Tests. Information, guidance and resources directly from ISEB, the exam board behind the tests.
