Free Hunter practice test for Grade 6Hunter for Grade 7 entry

Grade 6 students who qualify sit the Hunter exam once, in January, on paper at the school. Inside a booklet you can do the parts and questions in any order and go back, there is no calculator, and nothing is taken off for a wrong answer. Only the top scorers on reading and math have their writing read, so all three parts matter.

Tips

Getting ready for Grade 6

  • Reading Comprehension is 50 questions in about 70 minutes: give each passage about nine minutes, and come back to a question that is taking too long.
  • Poems and older passages are on the test. Read a poem twice, once for what happens and once for how it is said.
  • The math booklet is 84 questions in 75 minutes, under a minute each. Do the quick ones first and mark the rest to come back to; our practice times its two parts separately, at the school's suggested 35 and 40 minutes.
  • In a quantitative comparison, try a small number, a big number, zero and a fraction before you decide the relationship can be found.
  • For the writing, take five minutes to plan, write about two pages, and leave three minutes to check spelling and punctuation.
