Edutest Scholarship Tests
Some schools use Edutest for scholarship and entry testing. What the tests contain, how timing works, how dates are set — and, plainly, what AI Scholar Coach does and does not offer for Edutest today.
What the tests contain
Edutest describes two ability tests and three achievement tests. Schools choose which ones their applicants sit.
| Test | Type | Format | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verbal Reasoning | Ability | Multiple choice | 30 minutes |
| Numerical Reasoning | Ability | Multiple choice | 30 minutes |
| Reading Comprehension | Achievement | Multiple choice | 30 minutes |
| Mathematics | Achievement | Multiple choice | 30 minutes |
| Written Expression | Achievement | Written piece | 15 minutes, no planning or reading time |
Time per question
Edutest does not publish how many questions each test has, so the time per question depends on the paper your school uses. Edutest’s selective-entry page describes a longer written expression task (30 minutes plus 5 minutes planning), so check the format with your school.

Key dates
- Registration and test day
- Set by each school — not centrally published. Families register through the school, which sets the test date. Confirm the date and registration closing date with the school. Source: Edutest testing dates

Try a sample question
An original number-series question of the kind found in numerical reasoning tests. It is not a real test item.
Show the concept and worked answer
Concept: when the gaps between terms do not follow one rule, look for two rules taking turns.
- 1 + 3 = 4, then 4 × 2 = 8.
- 8 + 3 = 11, then 11 × 2 = 22.
- 22 + 3 = 25, so the next step is 25 × 2 = 50.
Answer: C, 50
