Dauntsey’s School 13 Plus Pretest Assessment
Before a place at Dauntsey’s School can be offered, candidates are required to sit the ISEB Common Pretest Exam in February. The test is usually taken at the pupils’ current school, in addition to a ‘taster’ day and admissions interview at Dauntsey’s.
The Common Pretest covers four core subjects: Mathematics, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The exam is designed to give schools an overview of a pupil’s academic potential. It is age-standardised, to ensure candidates are marked fairly.
