AQE Staged Difficulty Papers

Level 3 - Test Level Difficulty Papers

AQE Transfer Test NI

The AQE Transfer Test allows students to sit three different test papers at different times, they are all usually completed within 2/3weeks of each other. Each paper will ask a range of English and Maths questions. The two papers with the best results are used to calculate the student’s overall score. This is done to ensure that no child is unfairly penalised by having an ‘off day’ due to illness, nervousness or any other external factors.
