If my child's current school can't register them for Common Entrance (CE), how do I do it?

Your child will most likely be registered for Common Entrance (CE) exams by their current independent prep or junior school. However, if your child’s current school does not use CE, or your child currently attends a state school, you may need to register them with ISEB directly. 

Please ensure that you have checked whether your child’s current school intends to register your child for the Summer 2025 exam session to avoid duplicate registrations. The senior school to which your child is applying can also advise whether you need to complete this form or not. 

To register your child for the Summer 2025 session, please complete the online registration form. You will be asked to provide information about where your child will be taking the test so please ensure that you have made arrangements with a test centre. If you have any questions about the process you can contact ISEB through our CE Support Portal. 

Please note: This is not the registration process for the ISEB Pre-Tests. If you need to register your child for the online ISEB Pre-Tests, you need to go to the Pre-Tests Guardian Portal and create an account. This is where you can register your child for the ISEB Pre-Tests. Registering for the Pre-Tests is free.  Visit the ISEB Pre-Tests Guardian Portal.
