Hi,
Does anyone know what % roughly Harrow school says no to for 13+ post ISEB results? also is the Harrow Test like the ISEB test?

Hi
Not sure of percentage they say no to I'm afraid.
Regards the tests,
ISEB test is online.
Harrow test is maths, English written and interview with a housemaster.
Hope that helps

I heard it is relatively easier to pass the first stage to Harrow than Eton and Winchester. They turn down the last 20-25%. Not sure if it is true.
My friend's said they sent out invitation from this Monday.

Many thanks - unfortunately we were one of the not so lucky ones. Darn it. Never mind waiting game for the rest continues.

I'm answering this late, but I know many will read it later looking for answers to the same question. I don't know the answer but this is what I've heard from mums who seem to know: "The vast majority" of boys (about 80% was the number quoted to me by a mum who seemed clued into all this) are accepted post-ISEB. The school then have a school tour with "informal interview," then most of those boys are invited to sit Harrow exams, after which, only 50% of original applicants will be told no.
