Sutton Valence School 13 Plus Pretest Assessment
Pupils in Year 6 applying for a place for Deferred Entry into Year 9 are required to sit the ISEB Common Pretest. These are age-standardised computer tests that measure a student’s overall academic ability. They can be taken once only. The tests cover Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Maths and English.
Pupils must first register with Sutton Valence School to indicate that they wish to sit the Common Pretest. The deadline for registration is in October and the tests are taken at the pupil’s current school in either November or December.
After completing the pretest, applicants who have not yet met the Headmaster are invited to visit the school. At the end of this process, successful candidates are selected and issued with Deferred Entry offers.
Deferred Entry places are confirmed upon receipt of a £1,500 non-refundable deposit for each child. The place is conditional on the child remaining at their current prep school throughout Years 6, 7, and 8.
Sutton Valence School Admissions Criteria
Pupils can also join the school in Year 9 via the standard entry route. Pupils from independent schools are expected to take the Common Entrance exam, which takes place in the Summer term before entry. Special arrangements are available for pupils who live outside the UK.
How to Prepare for the Sutton Valence Pretest
Sutton Valence School maintains high academic standards and competition for places is high. It is therefore beneficial for students to spend some time preparing for the pre-test. One of the most effective ways to do this is to use online pretest practice tests and courses.
Students who are preparing for the Sutton Valence ISEB Common Pretest will find that our Pretest resources are well suited to their requirements. The practice tests will introduce them to the types of questions that are likely to come up in the real exam, while familiarising them with the exam format and structure.
Because our online tests and courses are able to identify strengths and weaknesses in performance, they should help students target their study more effectively in the areas that need the most improvement. In this way, preparation leading up to the exam can be tailored to maximise results.
We also encourage students to undergo the pretest practice tests under exam conditions so that they can improve their time management skills and get used to answering questions online under time pressure.
The practice tests and courses cover all four subjects that appear in the actual assessment. These are Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Maths and English. After completing a test, students are able to look back over their answers, and refer to detailed explanations for each question. The tests also provide statistical averages, which give an indication of your child’s relative performance.
