The Hurst 11 Plus Pretest Assessment
Before the College assigns 11 Plus places, prospective pupils must sit the ISEB Common Pretest Exam during an assessment day, which usually takes place in mid-January of the year of entry. This is an age-standardised test that is used to assess pupils’ attainment and overall potential. The tests focuses on the Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning aspects of the ISEB Pretest.
Hurstpierpoint College Admissions Criteria
The ISEB Common Pretest assessment is followed by an interview with the College’s Head, or another senior member of staff, lunch with prefects and various other group activities.
Places will be allocated based on a student’s performance on this assessment day, covering their results in the pretest, the admissions interview and the group activities. A report from the pupil’s current school will also be considered.
