- Score policy
- The ISEB Common Pre-Test is age-standardised. LEH publishes no marks, weighting, threshold or offer guarantee for either written stage; the admissions panel reviews the results before selecting applicants for interview.
- Oversubscription
- The accessible 2027 entry page confirms that every applicant takes Stages 1a and 1b, the admissions panel reviews those results, and applicants who perform well are invited to interview. It does not publish a fixed cut-off, weighting, final rank order or tie-break formula, so none is inferred here.
