GL pack1, pack 2 scores
Are GL paper harder than others (Bond, Letts, Athey) ? Are they similar to CGP and Bond CEM in terms of difficulty level?
As a rough estimation, what scores should I be looking at for selectives and superselectives ?

DCs say that GL papers were the hardest of all that they did (Bond, CGP, Letts inc.) They were scoring mid 90% in GL towards the actual exam for Kendrick, which they got into. I have no idea about scores for other schools unfortunately. I hope that helps.

According to my son, GL is harder than anything. Your DC should score around 90 for superselectives, I believe.

High 90s in GL VR/NVR/Maths....English can be a bit wobbly if she can't be bothered reading the text properly otherwise 90% is achievable there too.
Bond CEM is a bit tricky but no worries with any other commercial papers out there.

Anything above 85% (in first attempt) is good however that does not guarantee sure success - one must have the nerves and focus on the exam day. The new ambience + unfamiliar faces could bring down the scores when compared to doing the same paper at home.VH73 wrote:According to my son, GL is harder than anything.

Wow high 90s is impressive. With scores like that you may be very relaxed.sonasona wrote:High 90s in GL VR/NVR/Maths....English can be a bit wobbly if she can't be bothered reading the text properly otherwise 90% is achievable there too.

DD is nowhere near that for GL pack1. She has just finished pack1 and only in VR she is over 90%. Maths/Nvr is in 80s and English from 75 to 85% so far.

Completely agree. What they do on the day is most important.parent2013 wrote:Anything above 85% (in first attempt) is good however that does not guarantee sure success - one must have the nerves and focus on the exam day.

I noticed scores vary from 60% to98% depending on the difficulty level of the paper so it is difficult to get any consistency level.
Re: GL pack1, pack 2 scores
DO GL tests increase in level of difficulty? Is pack2 harder than pack 1.
I saw the comprehension in one of the pack2 tests and I thought it was hard. Is the actual test harder than the practice packs ?

Re: GL pack1, pack 2 scores
when I tried to toil through all the posts to understand GL/NFER/Letts, I read that the recommended order to tackle the packs is from 11D (that would be pack 4) to 11A (pack 1) with Pack 1 (11A) being the hardest...
