First you need to find out if your child is sitting CEM or GL exam. Once you know, then you can get books that cater for that specific exam. Assuming it is CEM, then get CGP CEM books, Bond CEM specific books (not the general ones), Letts CEM.....

English is basic grammar, vocabulary and comprehension etc.

Predominantly the difference in verbal reasoning is the format of subjects. For example in CEM, cloze, shuffled sentences, antonyms came up in the 2018 exam. Where in the GL exam, the format was in line with the general Bond book (not Bond CEM specific).

Hope above helps

My daughter mainly focussed on CEM and sat both CEM and GL exams
