If you check the school below and find the 2023 information is missing and you know it (or you’ve contacted the school and they’ve told you) you can send it to me by clicking here or go to the bottom of this blog.
Parents should use these scores as a guide when completing their post-primary transfer form and my advice would be to:
- Opt for the school that is truly your first choice, regardless of previous scores, as each year these scores can vary (going up and down) depending on the number of applicants to each particular school.
- Also check out the admission criteria for each school to appreciate your chances of securing a place if it comes down to a tie break. You’ll find them all in the Admission Criteria blog.
I trust you find this helpful and that this helps you in your decision making process for the post-primary transfer form.
Should you find any errors, please let me know by filling in this quick form -> here.
Comparing AQE, GL and SEAG
The table above was provided by SEAG and offers a comparison of the old AQE score and GL score, grade and cohort percentile – against the new SEAG Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) and this table should help you when trying to estimate the lowest score for this year.
Don’t worry too much about the detail as this will only ever be a best guess (like every year) and this is not an exact science as other factors will undoubtedly come into play.
N.B. Due to Covid, September 2021 admissions (because test didn’t take place in Nov 2020) are not available.

The Transfer Tutor Online Quizzes Is The Perfect Revision Tool For The New SEAG Test!
The Transfer Tutor App is an online site dedicated to providing fun and interactive quizzes aligned directly to the new SEAG specification. All quizzes are broken down into manageable topics and can be done on any mobile or tablet device, so it’s an great way for kids to learn and prepare for the test.
There are many, great features including (but not limited to):
- Quizzes broken down into specific English and Maths topics, to allow for focused learning and the ability to hone in on areas of weakness.
- Mobile friendly and works on any internet device.
- ‘Hint’ option supports the child’s learning. For example, in question about calculating area of an irregular shape, the hint will say, “Break it into two” – enough to keep the child going but teaching them for future, similar questions.
- The Leaderboard at the end makes the child feel like they’re playing a game and having friendly competition.
- Good use of colour and graphics which makes it exciting.
- Parents receives a progress email at the end to let them know how their child did.
How To Buy
All normal licences are a simple, one-off payment (except the monthly subscription of course) and they can be purchased in confidence through a normal PayPal account or using a normal bank card and the Guest option.
Licences are purchased depending on the length of time required and as additional years are only charged at £15 per year, it’s worth considering a longer licence if you have a younger sibling.
Simply choose the licence you need depending on the length of time you need access, click on the blue box, pay and then you’ll be off within minutes.
