What are CE exams?

Modified on Tue, 31 Oct, 2023 at 3:05 PM

Our Common Entrance (CE) exams are taken by children as part of their entrance applications to senior independent schools at 11+ or 13+. 


Designed and set in 1903 by each of the three major independent school associations and first used in 1904, our trusted and highly-respected CE specifications are developed in partnership with a panel of academic specialists and representatives from our three patron associations; HMC, GSA and IAPS. The papers are set by a panel of Item Authors and Paper Coordinators appointed by ISEB.
