BOND or CGP

Post by Sahara1 »

I was wondering if anyone can help to suggest if the Bond book are better than the CGP ones for the King Edwards exams...I have used the CGP for the QM exams thinking it was more focused for that school.

Any other books suggestions would be most welcomed.

Thanks

DD said format was very similar to CGP. Personally I bought her a variety of books, to give her breadth and a variety of styles - especially as they are always threatening to change the format.

Has anyone used the new Cgp 10 minutes tests for Nvr. If so, are they relevant to the Bggam 11 plus on 12 Sep

Bond was previously the undisputed leader in providing 11 Plus materials.

I feel that the Letts 11+ books have a clear layout and up to date material. But they haven't really branched into CEM materials yet.

CGP have only recently started to publish 11+ material and have also done very well in providing good quality relevant and well researched books.

First Past the Post also have a variety of good CEM practice books.
