Year 7 11+) Entrance Assessments Maths Syllabus
 Perse 11+ Maths Paper:
Candidates are required to work one paper of 45 minutes duration. There is no choice of questions; candidates should answer as many questions as possible. Answers and working are to be shown on the question paper itself. Mathematical tables and calculators are not permitted. It is expected that candidates will have had some experience of investigative thinking; the examination will allow for the demonstration of such techniques. Puzzle and problem solving type questions will also be included. The test may also contain questions in which a new mathematical concept or rule is explained and examples given, before asking candidates to apply this new idea. No knowledge beyond this specification will be required.
