Changes in Examinations

With the pandemic, Year 7 admission to The Harrodian School has changed. Instead of the written papers, online reasoning tests will be replaced with the ISEB Common Pretest, an examination used widely across many schools.

Applicants are to write this exam at their current school on or before December 7th; however, if unable to take the test at their current school, testing will be done at Harrodian on December 5th. Further, admission is based on references and performance in interviews. 

The ISEB Common Pretest

This examination covers skills in English, math, and verbal and non-verbal reasoning. It typically lasts a total of 2.5 hours and distributes across the following subjects.

• English (25 min): comprehension, sentence completion, spelling and punctuation

• Maths (50 min): mathematical ability across the curriculum – arithmetic and problem solving

• Verbal Reasoning (~36 min): problem-solving using words

• Non-Verbal Reasoning (~32 min): thinking with shapes, space, diagrams and pictures
