Entrance Exam (11+) Past Papers for Selective Independent schools in Northern Ireland
Our database of academically selective schools is tabled in alphabetical order by region, then school name. The available exam papers comprise two types: familiarisation paper (provided by GL and CEM) and sample/specimen paper (actual past papers), and will be free to download/use. Where the school does not share its own, original past papers, we have linked you to their Admissions page.
Our information was carefully collated using The Good Schools Guide and the Independent Schools Council search tools, filtering for “academically selective secondary schools”. To this end, we cannot say that our lists have not omitted a school or more.
