11+ Gloucestershire
11+ Gloucestershire
There are seven grammar schools in Gloucestershire, all seven schools use the same 11 plus exam meaning your child will only have to sit one exam even if they are applying to more than one grammar school. The Gloucestershire Schools' Entrance Test is provided by GL Assessment and tests verbal, non-verbal and maths skills. There are two test papers, each lasting 45-50 minutes. Additional time is provided for instructions and worked examples meaning each session will last about 1 hour. All questions are multiple choice.
