The questions that don't make sense at formatting errors from PDF conversation. No point in trying to work them out as they can not be done. Some of the answers to write 620 as a percentage are weird. The only answer is it can not be done as there is a variable missing. But that's not the point. The point is they formatted wrong on a cut and paste, which is common when copying PDF files.

@antipodalpizza thanks . I am glad I wasn’t going mad with the 620, 35 and 234 questions!

Year 5/6

Ooh, now I've found the school website and the proper papers I feel less thick and confused!

@Iamwalking

That was a good bit of research! What do you think of the English paper?

Can see how you got confused OP- they put the sample papers right at the bottom of the whole admissions section, the end of which was the Sixth Form entry info, so they looked like they were related to that. However looks like 6th form entry goes on GCSE results and interview only.

year 4?

Some questions can’t actually be answered, the ones who can look like level 1 foundation GCSE questions.

Sorry, have now RTFT, I'm surprised a selective school hasn't made that maths test harder.

Although to be fair, there are some trickier ones on there.

Now I have bothered reading the whole thread level 1 questions are typically early KS3.

@JustHereWithMyPopcornusthere

Yes - the English one is very straightforward, I think. More yr 9.

Yes, sorry for overall confusion, everyone.

Should have read the paper properly...

That seems like the sort of thing my Yr 4 daughter is being set

The 620 as a percentage isn't that difficult its 62000% Huh?

1 = 100% Why?

234 as a mixed number But it is a whole number!

Or do you just pick a number say 234/5 = 46.8 = 46 8/10 = 46 4/5

Oh! I spent too long thinking about it.

I see now it's a format thing! Pshaw!

I'd say Year 5.

I'm guessing the 620 should be 6/20 and so you're looking at finding an equivalent fraction /100 to convert to a percentage.

Percentages aren't on the curriculum until Year 5, so it's either for a tutored Year 4, an expected year 5 or reviewing Year 6.

Ah just seen the update.

Yeah if its grammar entry that makes sense. It's essentially end of Year 5 expectations. But agree with a PP that said it's a pretty easy entry test.

I would say year 5.

Yep, looks like a year-end yr 5 test, with a usual mix of difficluty whereby some questions would be gettable for the least advanced pupils, some challenging for the most advanced.

I think tests like that are designed so that pupils can maximise points on easy questions and then ‘pass’ overall by getting a small percentage of the difficult ones correct as opposed to being all difficult questions.

You sure it's not 11+ (Year 6) and not Year 11?

Just read some more and it is for 11+. Sorry, should've RTFT before commenting.

On tests like these, it is more likely to be the speed at which they should be answered, as opposed to the complexity of each question’. It doesn’t say how much time they have to answer those questions but the link someone posted showed it is a 19 page test, which is a fair amount at that age! A very common response of a child after they have sat the 11+ is ‘I ran out of time’.
