ADDITIONAL BOOKS

It is a good idea to choose 3 additional books (1 in each topic) and complete them. There are many excellent books available and it is essential to work through books of your choice.

If your child has a weaker area, then you could choose a book which is specifically targeting that area, such as Comprehension or Non-Verbal Reasoning.

We suggest you go into a bookshop or read online reviews. You cannot go too wrong.

Top Tip:

Please ensure you are choosing books for (9 -10 – easier) and (10-11 for more challenging books).

Please also ensure that you are buying the correct examining board.
