Test centre advice
Test centre advice letters and emails have now been sent to all applicants. Public schools have also received emailed advice about applicants from their schools. The test centres allocated to primary schools can be viewed here

Accompanying the test centre advice letter or email is the Test Information Bulletin. This bulletin provides useful information about the test timetable and answers some frequently asked questions.

Please contact the Unit urgently if you have not received your test centre advice.

Please try to bring a printout of your test centre advice letter or email with you on the morning of the test but do not worry if you have mislaid it, the student will still be able to sit the test.

You should investigate the route to the test centre and leave enough time to get there between quarter to nine and nine o'clock.

Please do not park on the grounds. You must leave the test centre as soon as the children are asked to line up to enter the test room.
