Are there Tiffin Boys past papers?
No. Tiffin School says it does not publish its past papers and writes completely new papers every year. It publishes illustrative English and maths questions and an example OMR answer sheet, linked below.
Tiffin Boys practice papers: what exists, and a free sample
What the school publishes
- Tiffin School does not publish past papers. It publishes illustrative English and maths questions for both stages and an example maths answer sheet, and warns that question numbers, timings and types change every year. Source
- Stage One answers go on a computer-marked OMR sheet. English is multiple choice. Maths answers are either a letter or a number bubbled digit by digit, with times given like a digital clock (07:05). Source
- Rough working has plenty of space but is not checked or marked, in either stage. Stage Two answers are handwritten. Source

Free sample with answer-grid practice
Answer the English by ticking one option. For maths, work the answer out, then bubble it one digit per column, as on the real sheet. When you mark it, each wrong grid says whether it looks like a recording slip (digits reversed, a place-value or unit slip, a 12-hour time) or a working error.
Original questions from our reviewed Tiffin bank. Not a Tiffin School paper: the school publishes illustrative questions only.

If the grids caught a slip, a few minutes of practice each week makes the answer sheet automatic. Everything above stays free without an account. A free account saves your child's progress through the lessons so you can pick up where you left off.
Or leave your email and we may write, with the school's source link, if a date or rule on this page changes. Nothing is sent automatically, so check the school's own page before you act.
Questions parents ask
How do you fill in a Tiffin maths answer sheet?
For multiple choice, draw a firm line through the letter. For a numerical answer, bubble one digit in each column. A time is recorded like a digital clock, so 5 minutes past 7 is 07:05. The line must stay inside the column.
Is this sample the real Tiffin test?
No. It is 10 original questions from our reviewed bank: four English and six numerical maths answers. It practises the answer format and the thinking, not the live paper.
