How admission works
Entry at 11+ runs in two stages: the ISEB Common Pre-Test (English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning), followed by an on-site 'EDGE Experience Day' combining a Maths assessment with a writing and critical-thinking paper and unassessed group activities. Caterham states there is no shortlisting stage — every registered applicant sits both stages and is given equal assessment opportunities.
