Nonsuch / Wallington Girls: Second Stage Practice

NWSSEE Stage 2 Practice

Wallington High School for Girls and Nonsuch High School for Girls share one second stage, the NWSSEE: a girl who passes the Selective Eligibility Test sits it once, and the same test and criteria apply for both schools. It is nothing like the multiple-choice Stage 1: an extended-writing English task plus a maths paper that isn't multiple choice. This practice sitting gives you open-answer maths problems and a writing task in the same spirit, then shows you a model answer and a mark scheme so you (or a parent) can self-assess. There is no pass/fail readiness band here, because a self-assessed mark isn't comparable across sittings the way an auto-marked Stage 1 score is.

Candidate Details

We ask for birth month and year (not a full date of birth) because the real test is age-standardised, so results are only meaningful when compared with children of the same age in months.

  1. 01Paper 1 (Mathematics): 5 open-answer problems, worked and self-marked.
  2. 02Paper 2 (English): 1 extended writing task.
  3. 03Each paper is timed, based on the suggested time per question. Once started, it cannot be paused.
  4. 04After both papers, you'll see a model answer and mark scheme for each question and enter your own marks. There is no auto-marked score.

You'll be asked to sign in first. That's what keeps your child's answers private and available on your other devices.

Unofficial practice resource. Real NWSSEE papers, format and marking are set by the consortium each year and are not publicly specified in detail: this is styled on public guidance about the extended-writing and non-MCQ maths format, not an official specimen paper. Self-marked: scores here reflect your own or a parent's judgement against the mark scheme shown, not school marking.
