The ISEB Pre-test can be taken in autumn at the applicant’s current school or at Canford if they are not in prep school. It will be followed by the Headmaster’s list day it consists of various activities with tests and informal interviews.
Note, Canford will get in touch with parents of enrolled children on the Headmaster’s List to see if they would like to take the ISEB Common Pre-Test at their prep school (or Canford if not at the prep school). Progress in this contributes to a Headmaster’s List Pre-Assessment Day invitation at Canford.
The tests take about two-and-a-half hours to complete (English 25 minutes, mathematics 50 minutes, non-verbal reasoning 32 minutes, verbal reasoning 36 minutes) and can be taken together or at separate times, either in the candidate’s own school or at the senior school for which he or she is entered
