North Yorkshire Council is requesting information from suppliers to help determine the scope and feasibility of its requirement, to understand the range of potential solutions available in the market, and to assist with finalising a future tender specification for the North Yorkshire Selection Test Scheme. The Ripon Grammar School selection test consists of one verbal reasoning and one non-verbal reasoning paper. The tests need to be tailored specifically to North Yorkshire Council’s requirements and are marked and then standardised on the local cohort. Approximately 400 pupils take the tests each year.
