About SEAG (Northern Ireland)
The Schools' Entrance Assessment Group runs the single entrance assessment for academically selective post-primary schools in Northern Ireland, first sat in 2023, so children no longer need to sit two different tests. It is held over two Saturdays in November, with papers in English (or Irish) and Maths set and marked by GL Assessment.
Applications and offers run through the Education Authority, not the dates used in England.
These are the topics our 11+ course teaches in each subject SEAG (Northern Ireland)tests. Not every area or school tests every subject or topic, so check the familiarisation material for your child's test.
Would you rather someone planned it for you?
Our 11+ course covers every topic on this list, week by week from Year 4 to the exam: a short lesson, practice and a weekly paper in each subject, with reviews in the holidays and a note for you each week on how it went. You can start free and see how your child gets on.
