Sutton SET practice at home: how to prepare

What to know about the SET

The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) is used for Sutton's grammar schools. Practice for it centres on English and maths. The format, registration dates and how results are used are set locally and change, so check the London Borough of Sutton and each school's admissions page for this year's rules.

A simple routine

• Short sessions of 15 to 20 minutes on most days.
• Alternate English and maths so neither is left to the end.
• Go back over wrong answers a few days later: if they are right the second time, the topic is secure.
• Add timed practice only in the last few weeks.
