What is the SEAG?
The Schools’ Entrance Assessment Group (SEAG) was formed to set a single post-primary transfer test for 2023 onwards, replacing the two separate tests run by the AQE & PPTC up to 2022.Both English and Gaeilge versions of the Assessment will be available.
62 SEAG member schools use academic selection for all or part of their Year 8 intake. Please follow this link for the full list: https://www.thetransfertest.com/information-parents/schools/
