Bond 11+: English, Maths, Non-verbal Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning: Assessment Papers: 9-10 years Bundle

Product Information

All Bond books include guidance on how to get the best results and which books to try next, depending on the scores your child is achieving. For ages 9-10 and 10-11+, Bond assessment practice also includes Up to Speed titles for children needing additional support to get up to the level required for exam success and Challenge papers for those who are working at the required level but are looking for an extra challenge or those who are applying for the most competitive schools. Bond CEM materials are another way to support children looking for an extra challenge. You can also use the Bond programme if your child is sitting a school-written test (which would likely cover some or all of the same four subjects as the standard 11+ tests) or an Independent School Examination Board (ISEB) test, such as the Common Pre-Test (which covers all four of the core 11+ subjects of English, maths, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning). If your child is sitting a GL Assessment-examined test, use plenty of practice papers to familiarise your child with the question types in each subject.

Your child may be asked to bring along schoolbooks and sometimes certificates or awards from ‘out of school’ activities. Be selective: do include your child’s latest music, dance, sporting award or newspaper cuttings of events your child has taken part in, but don’t take along every piece of artwork your child has ever created, or certificates older than a couple of years. The core range of Bond titles, including Bond Online, are suitable for all 11+ exam boards – GL, CEM, ISEB (Common Pre-Test), and school’s own papers. They can also be used as foundational work towards the Common Entrance exam (13+). Browse the print range here.

Ace independent school entrance exams

Unless the cover denotes a particular relevance to a specific exam board, all Bond 11+ materials are suitable for the GL test, as well as any other 11+ exams.

Verbal reasoning is not part of the National Curriculum in state primary schools, and this style of assessment may feel quite strange for children who have not seen questions framed in this way before. This is why practising these kinds of questions at home is so important: it helps familiarise children with a style of testing that they won’t experience at school.
