What you get
- A parent report the moment the practice test ends, no account: answers by paper, where to start, and three short sessions for this week.
- Print it or save it as a PDF. Saving to a free account is optional.
How the range is worked out
- Each question has a difficulty level from our SET question bank. Difficulty levels are set by our question writers.
- In each paper we find the ability that best explains how many your child got right, allowing for how hard those questions were.
- SET scores are standardised for age. We use the usual 11+ scale, where the children who sit it average 100 in each paper with most between 85 and 115, place your child's ability on it and show where it sits among the children who sit it. The result is our estimate on that scale, not a SET score.
- Each Sutton grammar school sets its own second-stage rule, so each paper stands alone. With six to nine questions a paper the range is wide; a full timed mock narrows it.
Questions
Is this an official SET paper?
No. The questions are our own, written to the SET's English and maths format, and each one was solved independently by two solvers. The Sutton schools publish sample papers.
How accurate is the score?
It is a range, because 15 questions cannot pin down one score. A full timed SET mock covers far more of the test.
How long does it take?
16 minutes: English 7 and maths 9. Each real SET paper takes about 40 to 50 minutes.
Do we need an account?
No. A parent report shows straight away: answers by paper, where to start and three sessions for this week, to print or save as a PDF. A free account is optional; it keeps the report and works through every answer.
What happens after the SET?
Children who reach the qualifying level sit the second stage for the schools they chose. Each school then combines the standardised SET score with its own second-stage papers in its own way; Wallington County, for example, counts the SET as two fifths.
