Stage 1 - Multiple Choice
Entrance to either school begins with registration for the Stage 1 multiple choice test. This consists of two exclusively multiple-choice papers, one for English and one for Maths. The papers last between 40 and 50 minutes and have a. very specific multiple choice answer sheet.
The Maths paper includes expected and advanced questions across addition, subtraction and multiplication, fractions and ratios, percentages, decimals, algebra, measurement and units, data and coordinates, monetary and word-based problems.
The English paper evaluates reading comprehension, punctuation, sentence structure, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, word classes and literary devices.
In most cases this first test will determine eligibility to sit Stage 2, and whilst the pass mark varies year-by-year due to peer averages, it is best to aim for at least 85% as an average across both papers, with neither paper scoring less than 80%. The reality could be higher each year, but this is a good rule of thumb when preparing for the big day.
Stage 2 - Open Answer
Those who are successful in Stage 1 move on to Stage 2, open answer.
Stage 2 consists again of two papers, covering English and Maths. English usually consists of at least one comprehension passage and as many as two writing tasks.
Maths questions are similar to those set in Stage 1, but without the multiple choice setting. For some children this is preferred, for others not. You will learn where your strengths are as you work with your little one.
