Questions parents ask
Which test will my Year 5 child sit?
For the five consortium schools, FSCE's English and maths test in September 2027. Loreto and Saint Ambrose set their own tests and have not announced any change.
Is there still verbal or non-verbal reasoning?
Not in the consortium test from 2028 entry: it is English and maths up to the end of Year 5. Loreto and Saint Ambrose last tested verbal reasoning, so the course keeps it.
Are these real past papers?
No. The schools and FSCE do not publish past papers. Every question here is our own, written in the same style.
What is the pass mark?
For 2027 entry, 334 at AGSB, AGGS, Stretford and Urmston, and 320 at Saint Ambrose. Loreto sets its own standard. Qualifying is not the same as a place.
How much time does it take?
About ten minutes a lesson. Three a week finishes the lessons in about a month, with practice and mocks after that.
