BBC News reported today that the AQE & PPTC are to hold talks to establish a single exam.
DUP education spokesman Mervyn Storey said his party wanted the process streamlined.
"The legal position is very clear, the 2006 order which the DUP negotiated has made it legally permissible for schools that wish to use academic criteria for transfer tests," he said.
"I am very clear that there needs to be discussion between the two organisations that have organised the tests."
