Common Entrance Exams of private school
Unlike a single national test, different schools use a range of assessments to gauge a student’s academic ability and future potential. These tests often assess skills beyond the standard school curriculum, including verbal, non-verbal, and quantitative reasoning.
While it is crucial to check the specific requirements for each target school, some of the most common entrance exams include:
ISEB Common Pre-Tests
This online, adaptive test assesses core skills in English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test)
This assessment measures a student’s cognitive potential through four batteries: Verbal, Quantitative, Non-Verbal, and Spatial Ability reasoning.
Password English Language Test
This test assesses English language ability across modules in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
Oxford Placement Test

MidYIS (Middle Years Information System)

School-Specific Entrance Exams
These are bespoke assessments created by individual schools, which may include written papers in specific subjects alongside interviews.
