The Schofield & Sims 11+ range draws upon 50 years of combined experience in teaching and tutoring from our authors.

We love using the Rapid Tests to back up our weekly tutoring sessions. Pupils can work through at their own pace and there are answer sheets to help parents if they need them. If pupils struggle with any particular topic, we can do a mini refresh in the lesson using a specific page or question.”

Questions increase in difficulty to provide a clear measure of progress.

The total score for each paper is out of 100 for easy conversion to a percentage.

11+ Practice Papers for GL

The 11+ Practice Papers for GL and Other Test

Providers provide realistic test practice for children preparing to sit 11+ exams set by GL Assessment, as well as other school selection tests. Designed to replicate the content and format of GL papers as closely as possible, the pack contains complete papers for English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.

Each paper will help children to develop essential exam techniques while also building confidence and stamina. Children can mark their answers on separate multiple-choice answer sheets to replicate test conditions.

The test layout and style closely resemble an 11+ exam.

All test papers are written by experienced tutors.

Papers and answer sheets are published in a card wallet, together with guidance notes and full explanations of all the questions.

The motto of Schofield & Sims’ 11+ books is ‘Prepare to Pass’. I can’t see how any student or parent who takes these books as their trusty companion could fail to prepare well for these exams.”
