I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the 11+ Verbal Reasoning Stretch Tests (Ages 8-9)

11+ Verbal Reasoning Stretch Tests (Ages 8-9) from Bond gives Year 4 children the edge they need for competitive grammar and independent school exams. These advanced practice papers build the higher-order verbal reasoning skills required to tackle the most challenging GL Assessment 11+ questions with confidence and precision.

Each stretch test presents more demanding question types than standard Bond papers, training children to recognise patterns, solve complex logic puzzles, and work under time pressure. Full answers in a pull-out section let parents quickly check work and explain tricky concepts, turning practice sessions into focused learning moments that stick. Designed specifically for children aged 8-9, these papers bridge the gap between early prep and full exam readiness, ensuring your child enters Year 5 with the advanced reasoning skills selective schools expect.

Regular practice with these stretching tests transforms nervous exam-takers into confident problem-solvers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for my child?

The 11+ Verbal Reasoning Stretch Tests (Ages 8-9) is perfectly suited for children in Year 4 who are preparing to take the GL Assessment 11+ exams, which are typically sat in the September - October period of Year 6.

This resource is also ideal for children preparing for other 11+ test providers, including FSCE, CSSE, the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET), as well as 11+ exams authored by individual grammar schools themselves.

While specifically designed for children preparing for the GL 11+ tests, the 11+ Verbal Reasoning Stretch Tests (Ages 8-9) also provides excellent preparation for independent school entrance exams, typically held in the January - February period of Year 6.
