About the Slough Consortium 11+ Exam
The Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools 11 Plus is the shared entrance test used by four co-educational state grammar schools in Slough - Langley Grammar School, Herschel Grammar School, Upton Court Grammar School and St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School - to select academically able pupils for Year 7 entry. The test is produced by GL Assessment and consists of two multiple-choice papers, each lasting around an hour and sat on the same day with a short break. Across the two papers, pupils answer questions in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning (including spatial reasoning), mathematics and English. Results are reported as a standardised score, and a child must reach a total standardised score of 111 to be considered eligible for a place. Registration for the test normally opens in early May and closes in early June, with results released in mid-October.
Assessment
Two multiple-choice test papers produced by GL Assessment, covering verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning (including spatial reasoning), mathematics and English. Questions are mixed across the two papers rather than one subject per paper.
Time Limit
Two papers of approximately 60 minutes each, sat on the same day with a short supervised break between them.
Passing Score
A total standardised score of 111 is required to be deemed eligible for a place. The consortium does not publish the weighting of each subject, and an eligible score does not guarantee an offer.
Exam Fee
There is no fee to register for or sit the Slough Consortium 11 Plus; the four consortium grammar schools are state-funded and do not charge tuition. (Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools (tests provided by GL Assessment))
