Test: January of Year 6 — the school’s own examination day (a few schools test in November or December of Year 6)
Results: Outcomes follow the school’s published timetable, typically in the spring term of Year 6
Offers: February of Year 6 — the school publishes its offers to its own timetable (London day schools cluster around a mid-February offer point)
When to start preparing: Start preparing in the autumn term of Year 5 (the standing rule: about 18 months before the test).
General guidance: this follows the rule of thumb of starting about 18 months before the test. It is not the school's own published advice.
