Wolverhampton entrance test format
Wolverhampton Girls' High School uses the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test — the shared GL Assessment test also used by the Birmingham, Walsall and Telford grammars: Two one-hour multiple-choice papers, each covering English comprehension, verbal reasoning, mathematics and non-verbal/spatial reasoning, with answers on an OMR (optical mark reading) sheet. Published weighting: 50% English/verbal reasoning, 25% non-verbal reasoning, 25% mathematics; scores are age-standardised. One registration (early May to late June of Year 5) and one September sitting covers every West Midlands consortium school named on the form.
