Hampton School 13+ test

8 replies

Does anyone know where to find sample papers for Hampton School for 13+ entry (12+ tests)? I've tried from Exam Paper plus but the questions are very hard to finish within 45min. Does anyone know how many questions are there in total? Any kind of knowledge will be very helpful. Thank you

Hiya - we never found any
just did atom papers of similar schools
did work

maths is usually quite tricky and very few seem to finish

two DS got admitted to Hampton at 13plus

Can I ask what sort of interview questions they would have? Is it just a general chat or more academic focused questions?

When do you get the results?
Ds did habs yesterday...I think we have to wait until January to understand if he moves to the 2nd round...

Yes, its 12th January, but just wondering what sort of interview it will be

From a few years ago the interview is a bit of both, so it includes a test picture (they are designed for test situations, it isn't a well known picture) and you have to describe what you see, I think it's a test to see what type of learner you are and then more general so talk about the book your are reading, if you read The Week junior then what do you like about the layout etc. Always remember to talk about why you want to go to the school and a reminder there is no hockey or swimming at Hampton so no point in labouring on those hobbies!

Just to add they did change the interview format during the pandemic when they used ISEB style for first stage so I'm not sure what they returned to last year.

Last year they continued to get the boys to talk about a picture or an object
they have two 15 min (I think) interviews with different teachers and speak quite a bit about hobbies.
