PFGPlymouth High School for Girls 11+ admissions

• Plymouth Girls Shared 11 Plus

  Shared test group · Quest Assessments · Two paper-based multiple-choice examinations, one on each of two Saturday mornings, with separate answer sheets. The current school guidance states 40 minutes and 60 questions for each paper; the Quest candidate pack describes duration as approximately 40 minutes.

  The common assessment result is considered separately under each school’s admissions policy. Both policies require candidates to reach that school’s required score; the policies use school-specific cut-off rules and rank candidates when oversubscribed. DHSG defines its cut-off as the score of the last candidate allocated under its main ranking criterion. PHSG defines its adjusted cut-off as five points below the score of the 120th child who applied in score order at the start of allocation, with specified priority provisions for looked-after and eligible Pupil Premium applicants. No single fixed numerical qualifying score for both schools is published in these sources, and a qualifying result does not guarantee a place.
