Secondary School Selection Style Test Guidance Notes
 
Guidance Notes for Using and Interpreting the Secondary School Selection Style Online Test Service
 
  Before attempting a Secondary Selection style test paper online, you should read these notes to assist you in completing the test and interpreting your result.  
 
  The Secondary School Selection style practice tests on our database have been devised to a similar standard of complexity and level to a typical Selection test such as the 11+. They are a useful indication of skill levels typical of pupils in school years 6 and 7.  
 
  In an actual multi-choice 11+ test the answer is selected by drawing a line in a box.   
 
 
  The purpose of these online tests:  
 
  
  • To allow students to practise questions of a similar level in order to improve their grade potential for an actual exam.

  • Students receive computer-generated hints/tips for those questions not answered correctly.

  • Students gain an idea of their percentage score and this can also be used for the purpose of monitoring their own progress if they re-take a similar test.

  • The online test is marked immediately and your feedback is returned quickly.

  • As a useful check-up on Level 4-6 maths.
 
 
  To maximise learning from the Online Test Service:  
 
  
  • Do use pencil and paper to assist you with finding the correct answer. Do keep this 'working out' for future reference, numbering your paper where appropriate.

  • Do remember the differences between the Online Test Service and a 'real' exam.

  • Do regard the Online Test Service as only part of your exam preparation.

  • Do remember that the 'pass mark' for an actual test is determined to some extent by the overall ability of students taking the tests.

  • Do remember that the Mathematics test forms only part of the Secondary Selection process.
   
 
  Good luck with your questions!
