Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) Information

In order to get into Wallington High School for Girls, children need to pass the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET). This 11+ test is written by Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) for use by the school's admissions process.

Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) Subjects & Structure

The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) requires children to complete tests in the following subjects:

• English
• Maths

The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test is a crucial assessment for students seeking admission to Wallington High School for Girls. This exam consists of two parts, each focusing on evaluating the candidate's proficiency in English and Mathematics.

The English section is divided into four parts, assessing the student's spelling abilities and reading comprehension skills. The Mathematics section covers various topics from the Key Stage 2 curriculum, including number and place value, basic arithmetic operations, fractions, decimals, percentages, measurement, geometry, and statistics.

In the second stage of the exam (NWSSEE), students are required to demonstrate their writing skills in a one-hour extended writing task for English and complete a 45-minute standard Mathematics paper. These papers are not in the multiple-choice format, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation of the student's abilities.

Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) Marking Process

The reality of 11+ tests, selective education and academic institutions such as Wallington High School for Girls is that only children with particularly high marks are admitted. Hence why it is important that children perform well in their 11+ papers.

Different schools (and different 11+ tests) have different marking processes. Some tests are marked in person, some remotely, while others utilise computer-based optical recognition technologies for quickly marking multiple-choice answer sheets.

Many 11+ tests are age-standardised to ensure younger children are not disadvantaged (i.e. their marks may be moderated depending on the month in which they were born). While creative writing papers can be used as tie-breakers, multiple-choice tests in Maths, Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning normally make up the bulk of a child's marks. The specific details and weightings can vary from year to year.

It's worth remembering that once children's 11+ tests are being marked, the admissions process is completely outside of the parents' control. Hence, parents should not worry themselves about whether their child has got a place!

Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) Pass Mark

The pass mark for the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) changes every year and isn't generally made public knowledge. This is due to the academic strength of the children taking the test varying and how challenging the test ends up being (as well as plenty of other smaller variables).

Hence, as a vague rule-of-thumb, it's recommended that children aim for roughly 75-80% in their practice tests. Whilst this won't guarantee them a place at Wallington High School for Girls, it's a ballpark exam result figure for successful candidates.
