21 Dulwich College 13+ papers, 2020-2023 — every question instantly marked with worked solutions

The Dulwich College 13+ entrance exam is a written, in-person exam sat at the school. It typically includes a maths paper (60–90 minutes), an English paper, and — for the 13+ entrance — additional specialised papers. Hearthprep hosts 21 Dulwich past papers covering 2020–2023, each with full step-by-step worked solutions.

Dulwich College sets its own exam date. The 13+ entrance exam is typically sat between early November and mid-January of the year of entry, after the ISEB Common Pre-Test (taken in Year 6 for 13+ pre-test candidates). Confirm the exact date with the Dulwich College registrar after registering your child.

Dulwich College does not publish a fixed pass mark — entry is competitive and ranked relative to the cohort each year, so there is no percentage to aim for. The most reliable preparation is to practise multiple recent papers under timed conditions and work on the topics that cost marks.

21 Dulwich College past papers covering 2020–2023. All are available as free PDF downloads, with the most recent papers also converted into interactive practice with instant marking and full worked solutions.

Yes. The PDFs are the official papers published by Dulwich College itself (or, for years no longer hosted by the school, archived versions sourced from the school's prior publications). The interactive practice papers are the same questions, with instant marking and worked solutions added by Hearthprep's editorial team.

Most successful Dulwich College candidates use both: a tutor for weekly tactical coaching, and a self-study tool like Hearthprep for the volume of paper practice (8–15 full past papers under timed conditions is typical). Hearthprep's Annual plan (£7/mo) costs less than a single 60-minute tutor session in central London, and surfaces the questions and topics a child is consistently getting wrong.

Dulwich College sets its own 13+ entrance exam — separate from, and harder than, the ISEB Common Entrance. Candidates who pass the ISEB Common Pre-Test in Year 6 are invited to sit the Dulwich College-specific entrance exam later. Hearthprep covers both: school-specific papers under /prep/dulwich-college, and Common Entrance practice under /papers.
