What AQE scores do schools require for admission?
What you need to score in the AQE to guarantee entry is impossible to state – even the schools don’t know until the results are in. That said, previous years can give some indication.
Points to note…
1
|
Not all applicants on this score may have secured entry – secondary criteria may have been applied to separate candidates with level scores. Refer to an individual school’s entry policy for these criteria. |
 |
2
|
Some AQE schools only academically select on part of their intake, with a certain percentage of the intake coming from separate criteria, such as proximity to the school. If you are interested in attending Sullivan Upper; Royal School, Dungannon; Royal School, Armagh; Carrickfergus Grammar; Wallace High School or Strabane Academy then refer to the schools’ own criteria for further information. |

|
Lowest admitted scores can, and do, change from year to year. |
|
4
|
These do not include candidates who were admitted under special circumstances. |

These are part rumour, part borrowed (from the Belfast Telegraph – thanks). Although we do believe them to be accurate, TransferReady cannot absolutely guarantee them. We do hope that they help you plan your next move, though. |
