Decoding the Adaptive Testing Format

NHEHS utilises the shared London 11+ Consortium digital platform, meaning your child only sits the entrance exam once, regardless of how many Consortium schools she applies to. The test moves quickly through five core pillars: Mathematics, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English Comprehension paired with Verbal Reasoning, multistep Problem-Solving, and an Analysis module. Because sections of the test are heavily adaptive, students need to develop strong pacing techniques and a high comfort level with screen-based problem-solving. Candidates who perform well are invited to an online interview in January to share their personal passions.
