ISEB PRE-TESTS REGISTRATION GUIDANCE

The ISEB Pre-Tests: information for parents/guardians

What are they?

The ISEB Pre-Tests (11+) provide a set of four online entrance assessments that a wide range of senior schools accept, allowing pupils to sit the tests once and have their results shared with all of the senior schools they have applied to.

Senior schools are able to compare results from all of their applicants, no matter where or when they sat the tests, as they are ‘common’ to all pupils.

The results are standardised against a sample of pupils applying for independent school admission, giving consistency across each cohort of pupils.
