Hi!

Apart from creative writing what other types of writing could possibly come up in 11+ exams? I thought possibly a newspaper article or letter but what other possibilities are there?

Has a list of possible titles divided into creative writing, newspaper article, letter etc ever been posted?

Many thanks!

DS had to write a customer enquiry telephone conversation for a scholarship exam! He quite enjoyed it!

My DS wrote a travel article for a newspaper in his 11+. None of his options were a story. I think one was a letter.
