Exam Information, Revision Topics and Resources

English

Year 7 pupils will be sitting one half of the 13+ Common Entrance in English. They will attempt Paper I which consists of a comprehension passage and a poem. Pupils will be asked questions on both the passage and the poem and will be expected to analyse and evaluate what they read. Considerable weight will be given to pupils' spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Maths

Both sets will be taking ISEB 13+ papers. CE Paper I is an non-calculator paper. CE Paper III is a calculator paper.

You will need a calculator for the second paper (obviously!), and all the usual equipment for both papers, including a protractor and a compass!
