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 GL 11+ English Workbook (Ages 7-8) is perfectly suited for children in Year 3 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 GL 11+ English Workbook (Ages 7-8) also provides excellent preparation for independent school entrance exams, typically held in the January - February period of Year 6.
