Which Set of books and Materials to buy?

Post by 1bzy »

Hello There.

I have tried to find an answer for this question but so far have been unable to do so.
Any help and information will be greatly appreciated.


I hope for my 9yr old to sit the KE Camphill Birmingham grammer test in September.

I have been going through various CGP books with him over the last year and was about to buy various bond assessment papers and test papers. (i have just bought the Bond how to series).

I have noticed there is similar alternative series by GL assessment.

What i would like to know Is which series are more highly reccomended, the bond series of assessment /test papers or the gl assessment/test papers.

Or are they equally as good as a learing resource to try and pass the 11+ ?

Has anyone experience in using both?

Any info/help appreciated.

Welcome to the EPE site

The Birmingham schools use papers set by the University of Durham.

Info here

there is some information about the content of past papers available.

May be worth searching back through the Birmingham section for advice on what material to use. I don;t think GL is relevant, although some one more familiar with the area should be able to give you more information.
