S ummary . The performance at 11 of children drawn from rural schools was compared under ( a ) test‐controlled and ( b ) test free conditions. There was a net increase of 7 per cent. in selective places under test free conditions and subsequent performance, as determined by progress in the grammar school, justified the increased selective provision amongst rural schools. This suggests that children in a rural environment are to some extent handicapped by an assessment which is weighted in favour of speeded tests
