Most 16+ maths entrance papers from independent schools run for 60 minutes, though some — including scholarship papers — extend to 90 minutes. The time Haileybury allows is printed on each paper's own cover, where the school printed one.

Haileybury 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 sit several recent papers under timed conditions and work on the topics that cost marks.

Most 16+ entrance exams take place between early November and mid-January of the year of entry. Haileybury sets its own date — confirm directly with the registrar after registering your child.
