What the entrance test covers

Produced by GL Assessment for all four Slough Consortium schools (Herschel Grammar, Langley Grammar, Upton Court Grammar, St Bernard's Catholic Grammar). Two multiple-choice papers, each roughly 50-65 minutes including instructions, sat in the same session with a short break between: 1. Verbal Reasoning and English. 2. Non-verbal Reasoning and Maths — maths draws on the full KS2 curriculum (number, the four operations, fractions/decimals/percentages, measurement, money and time, 2D/3D shape, angles, coordinates, statistics, sequences, algebra, ratio); non-verbal reasoning covers analogies, letter codes, series, odd-one-out, matrices, hidden shapes, and spatial reasoning (cube nets, folded paper). Answers go on a separate machine-marked (OMR) answer sheet.
