Official free practice material

The school publishes sample papers for its written exams: English with its reading passage, two maths papers, and General Comprehension with its resource booklet.

What to practise

  • Reading comprehension: Read widely every day and answer questions about what the writer means, not only what happens.
  • Creative writing: Write short stories and descriptions against the clock, then check spelling and punctuation.
  • Maths: Keep arithmetic quick and accurate, and practise multi-step word problems up to the end of Year 6.
  • Verbal reasoning: Build vocabulary and learn the common verbal reasoning question types: codes, hidden words, series and word links.
  • Non-verbal reasoning: Practise shape patterns, codes, reflections, folding and cubes until the question types feel familiar.
  • Interview: Talk about books, interests and current events in full sentences, and explain how you worked something out.
