Applications To Open For AQE 2021/22 Entrance Assessment
The exams body Association for Quality Education (AQE) has announced applications for the 2021/22 Entrance Assessment will open on Tuesday, 25 May.
AQE said it has engaged extensively with its 34-member grammar schools and through them, a large number of primary schools to ensure its plans reflect the needs of schools and pupils.
The test papers will be held on the following dates:
• Saturday 20th November 2021
• Saturday 27th November 2021
• Saturday 4th December 2021.
Results will be based on the two best papers out of three, to allow each child to have an "off day without it impacting their results", AQE has said.
The assessments will follow the same general format as past papers.
