About the ISEB Common Pre-Test
What is the ISEB?
The ISEB (Independent Schools Examinations Board) Common Pre-Test assesses students for entry into independent senior schools.
Schools use it to test your child's potential in core subjects and determine if they're likely to thrive at the school.
Some schools use it as a first round entrance exam, followed by their own test papers and an interview stage.
What subjects are covered?
The ISEB consists of four tests covering English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.
English and maths are based on Key Stage 2 national curriculum content
Verbal reasoning assesses your child's ability to solve problems with written information
Non-verbal reasoning tests your child’s logic, problem-solving and spatial awareness
Timings
Registration opens in September. Your child will sit the ISEB in either November or January of Year 6.
The ISEB takes about 2 hours 15 minutes total. The tests can be taken on the same day or separately.
Maths: 40 minutes
English: 40 minutes
Non-verbal reasoning: 30 minutes
Verbal reasoning: 25 minutes
Format
The ISEB is fully multiple-choice and taken on a computer.
Your child can take it at their own school, the target senior school, or a test centre.
It's the only adaptive entrance exam, meaning the questions get more difficult depending on how your child performs.
Unlimited ISEB mock tests
With your Atom Nucleus subscription you get unlimited online practice papers for senior school exams, including the ISEB.
Your child can take the tests as many times as they like and never see the same paper twice. No more rationing past papers!
No more marking them either, as everything is instantly marked and analysed for you.
