Prep tips

  • Stage 1 is the online ISEB Common Pre-Test — Maths, English, VR + NVR, all multiple-choice
  • Results are age-standardised (average 100) so younger-in-year girls aren't disadvantaged
  • Strong pre-test scores earn an invite to the Stage 2 assessment day + interview
  • No catchment area — places are offered on merit across the four ISEB sections
  • One ISEB sitting covers every ISEB school, so it's worth registering targets together
