Transfer test results released

Sitting an exam

Sitting an exam

PUPILS across Ulster yesterday received their transfer test results for entry into grammar school.

Thousands of P7 pupils sat the unofficial exams, set by two separate bodies after the 11-plus was abolished.

The tests are used by 67 grammar schools to determine their first year intake.

Altthough pupils received their results yesterday - it will be May when they learn if they have succeeded in getting a place in their preferred school.

The 11-plus exam, which used to determine entry into grammar schools, was abolished in 2008. New unofficial exams have since been introduced.

The AQE test is used mainly by non-denominational grammar schools and the GL assessments are used mostly by Catholic-maintained grammar schools.
