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?

This resource is particularly helpful for children sitting CEM-style tests in areas as well as regions where schools use mixed exam boards that include CEM papers.
