Do you mean the maths or the English or both? I don't find the WGS English especially challenging compared to consortium papers like Arlington Rise and The Secret girlfriend. DG

I have on the good advise from g55 decided not to release the Q&A plus WGS papers are copyrighted ( you can get the exam papers(although not answers it's only 11+ , how hard can it be?) by contacting school and pay the required amount to the School)

for any reasonable child there is enough already in the public domain to familliarise one's child of required level .

good luck anyway

I understand that the consortium has upped it's game with regards to English probably due to NLCS threatening to go their own way as WGS has always done, but in terms of Maths WGS maths is seriously over the top in paper 2 for 10yr girls( St Paul's maths is a good comparison probably even harder than WGS imo)

paper 1 is much the same level as GL

NCLS has left the Consortium for English but is still using the Consortium Maths paper. DG

with regards to English I would recommend the Common Entrance Exam(ISEB 13+ books and answer booklet (bought separately :cry: ) -yes for 11+ for the elite selective schools

the answer book comes in advanced answers and more basic answer variations, buy both

even an illiterate village idiot as myself can work through it !

no expensive prep schools or tutors required :D still expensive books though

good luck

for maths try the Primary Maths challenges or even some the first 10 questions or so of the Junior Challenges

All come with answers

please note these are only appropriate prep for the top 25 or so selective indies so not an issue for most indies, so don't panic if your DC finds them impossible most 10yrs would and the top schools add little value anyway for them it is input=output so poor value added overall

My twin daughters are sitting the exam for Channing and South Hampstead, both in the North London Consortium, plus Highgate. They are in a state primary school right now so I am spending hours marking all their test papers in English and Maths. Any help in the form of answers would be really welcome and helpful.

Catseyes and DG, I read in previous messages that you have collated all the answers. Would it still be possible to share those ?

I have "paid" for Maths answers and other papers no longer available in the form of barter with English answers and examples of marked English papers. No money has changed hands but a lot of work has been involved! As it sounds like you have been doing a lot of marking you can do the same and barter your marked papers for other answers. Pm me if interested. DG
