DS2 is due to sit it. Just an appeal to anyone who understands the process- I understand it will be Maths and English, no VR/ NVR. Will it definitely be all multiple choice? Anything else I should be aware of? Where are the venues likely to be- any info would be useful really!

As part 2 of the SET English my daughter had to do a piece of creative writing (she can't remember comprehension but she must have done one) So they gave a line, something like, 'Then she pushed open the door' and she had to base her piece on that. I know that she found the maths pretty hard on the second round (I only entered her on a whim so had genuinely not prepped at all, did nothing over the whole summer etc) and although her maths is v good the way the maths was presented in stage two threw her a bit - it was
quite long wordy maths 'problems' rather than a series of short, sharp questions (she found the maths in the SET pretty OK, just about managed to do all the questions)

DD made it to round 2. Hopefully everyone has heard now. No matter what happens with next round, I'm proud of her.

All the best to everyone

Thanks Pudding. DS has made it to round 2 as well. Massively relieved!

Does anyone know if all the girls are sitting round 2 in nonsuch? Or are some sitting it in Greenshaw?

I'm not sure, but check the 11 plus forum (surrey) lots of super knowledgeable people on there and the answer to this question might be on there.

My son is sitting SET test at Tiffin this October. I have heard Tiffin test has more questions and less time than Sutton one. Can someone please tell me how many questions and times that children are given at Tiffin?

Many Thanks
