What the entrance test covers

Bromley's two grammar schools test separately: 1. Newstead Wood School (girls) — GL Assessment: two multiple-choice papers in verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, each around 50-60 minutes, taken on the same day with a short break. 2. St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (boys) — TWO STAGES: Stage 1 is a one-hour Selective Eligibility Test of roughly 60 multiple-choice questions across four sections; the top-scoring boys (historically around 450) are invited to Stage 2 in November — two one-hour written papers taken on the same day. Offers are based on Stage 2 performance plus the school's oversubscription criteria. Registration deadlines differ (Newstead Wood closes end of June; St Olave's window is short, in June) — check both schools' pages early in Year 5.
