Can anyone help with this as I can't seem to see anything on line (and I am too scared by the 11+ forum to go in).
Both schools set their own exams, so not Common Entrance, one is GDST. The exams are maths, english and VR/NVR. They say that the level is equivalent to a level 4 or 5, but the comprehension on the one past paper we have seen is way more sophisticated than anything DD does at school, so she probably does need to try a few more.

What books are best practice for 11+ entrance to fee-paying schools?

Galore Park's "So you really want to learn English". Its a text book but also designed for home-ed. You can buy the teacher's book as well but we did not bother. We did some of the class exercises in the car or as a family over dinner. Also rather than DD just write essays, we got her to write essay plans for some of then. That way she could get in the exam and automatically write the plan rather than just panic.
