Hi

I am totally new to this forum.
My daughter(year 5) who will be taking her exam in 2016. She is preparing for HBS. I have read somewhere in this forum that the stage 1 English will have verbal reasoning. Does this include synonyms, cloze, odd one out, etc and how about the maths questions.
Could you please suggest me few books that will be useful in this preparation?
Also for stage 2 English, what type of comprehension can be expected. Are they standard format?

Please help me.

Many thanks in advance.
Red Rose

If you do a search on HBS you will find lots of reading and the answers to your questions. You will also see that all the HBS posts are in the Herts and North London section which is where you need to post for answers to your questions.

But just to get your started round one is CEM which is what you listed plus short maths questions.

Round two is standard format maths and comprehension the same as the english and maths papers that DAO do.

If you look in the forum shop you will see lots of CEM material. DG
