GL 11+ English Comprehension & Writing Practice Papers
Four practice exam papers to test pupils ahead of the GL 11+ English test, including the bespoke tests created by GL for individual schools. They cover comprehension, spelling, punctuation and grammar, as well as writing.
The papers are designed to:
- Develop and perfect exam technique for GL English 11+ exams
- Give practice in answering comprehension, spelling, grammar and writing questions
- Identify weaker areas and improve results by studying the answers, which contain references to Galore Park's revision materials for guidance and useful tips
- The resource also contains links to downloadable answer sheets so that the tests can be re-sat.
These practice papers are part of Galore Park's 11+ revision series, which provides a three-step learning journey that teaches children the skills needed to pass rigorous school entrance exams.
