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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for my child?

The 13+ English Exam Practice Workbook for the Common Entrance Exams (exams from Nov 2022) is perfectly suited for children in Year 7, Year 8 or Year 9 preparing for the 13+ Common Entrance examination, which is typically taken in January or June when pupils are in Year 8.

This comprehensive resource follows the Independent Schools Examinations Board (ISEB) syllabus and is ideal for pupils aiming to gain entry to leading independent senior schools across the UK. It's particularly valuable for children at prep schools, as well as those receiving private tuition for the 13+ exams.

While specifically designed for 13+ Common Entrance preparation, the 13+ English Exam Practice Workbook for the Common Entrance Exams (exams from Nov 2022) is also excellent for pupils preparing for individual schools' own 13+ entrance exams, as these often follow a similar format and level of difficulty to the ISEB papers.
