Haberdashers' Boy's School, Elstree Admissions Process

The Haberdashers' Boy's School, Elstree admissions process for entry into Year 7 is through an entrance assessment that takes place in the November of Year 6. The online assessments are provided by Quest Assessments. The maths, vebal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning are adaptive meaning the questions each child is given are based on their previous answers. Once the answer to a question has been submitted the child cannot go back to check or correct the answer. This is an important feature to familiarise your child with. The English, Creative Comprehension and Puzzles & Problem-Solving are non-adaptive meaning all all candidates see the same questions, however some children may progress further through the questions than others. On the basis of the exam results around half the candidates will be invited back for an interview.

We have a free Haberdashers' Elstree familiarisation test for you to gain a brief insight into the exam, and we have full length Haberdashers' Elstree Mock Tests available to purchase which replicate the format and content of the Entrance Assessment.

BOFA Haberdashers' Elstree Mock Tests

Our BOFA^® Haberdashers' Elstree Mock Tests have been designed and created specifically to replicate the Haberdashers' Elstree entrance exam situation in order to help pupils familiarise themselves with the format and structure of the Haberdashers' Elstree exam. Our Mock Tests follow the same three stage learning process as the BOFA^® 11+ site (test, practice, retest) but the emphasis is on the exam preparation rather than the learning element. Our Mock Tests are sold in packs of 3 as we believe 3 is the minimum number of tests a pupil will need to complete to become comfortable with the format and style of the exam. You can purchase Mock Tests for the Haberdashers' Elstree entrance exam from our Mock Test Shop.

BOFA11+

As well as offering these specific Mock Tests we also offer an online adaptive learning platform on a subscription basis for long term support and exam preparation. Our 11+ subscription site is our unique online learning platform which covers material from 8+ through to 12+, designed to assist pupils in their learning and understanding of syllabus content in preparation for the 11+ exam. All our tests follow our three stage learning process of initial test, followed by tailored teaching and learning before a retest. Although referred to as the 11+ subscription site, a subscription gives you access to all the subscription site material and is therefore suitable for pupils aged 7 to 11, in school years 3 to 6. You can purchase a recurring monthly subscription, which can be cancelled at any time, or you can take out a fixed term 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24 month subscription with a one-off payment. All our prices can be found in our 11+ shop.
