What the entrance test covers

Each Barnet grammar school runs its own separate test: 1. Queen Elizabeth's School (boys) — two 50-minute multiple-choice papers: English and maths (GL Assessment-based). 2. The Henrietta Barnett School (girls) — TWO ROUNDS: Round 1 is a GL Assessment-based screening test; girls who do well are invited back for Round 2, which uses the school's own internally-set papers (more demanding, written answers). Only Round 2 performance determines offers. 3. St Michael's Catholic Grammar School (girls) — tests English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning; note the school's Catholic faith criteria also apply in oversubscription. The three tests are separate registrations on separate dates — a girl applying to both Henrietta Barnett and St Michael's sits both schools' exams.
