Quest Admissions

Quest Admissions is an exam provider used by UK independent schools. Our assessments are designed to ensure that schools assess children fairly in entrance exams and can accurately identify the students who will thrive at their school. They are interesting, engaging assessments that allow children to show themselves at their best.

Familiarisation assessment

To make sure children go into their assessment feeling confident, we’ve put together a short familiarisation assessment. These questions give children an opportunity to become familiar with the format and style of the questions in their assessment.

Our familiarisation assessment covers all subjects delivered at 11+. Your child’s assessment is unique to the school they’re applying to, so please check the school’s website for specific information about the assessment process for your child's year group and the subjects in their assessment.
