Which Pre-Preps have 7+ sample papers on their websites?

I've found sample papers on the following websites:

North London Collegiate, Colet Court, Highgate & Magdalen College.

Does anyone know of other schools that have 7+ sample papers online?

Haberdasher's Aske (not a pre prep but has a 7+ sample paper for English and Maths) if that helps

Cheers wheelsonthe bus. I think I meant prep, not pre-prep. Still trying to get my head around the 7+....

My school had hold of series of Kings Wimbledon ones, for 7+ and 8+ but don't know if parents can get them too. (very hard for 8+). At Latymer you can look at a sample maths but not take it away. I photographed it but doubt I can found the pics now - will look.

Colet has reading list and syllabus but no papers.

Have to say though, that DS said the 7+ he passed at Magdalen bore little resemblance to the sample papers. From his descriptions, questions like on the sample paper were in the minority, and most of what he was actually asked to do (in the 3 hours of tests! Shock) sound like cognitive ability test questions than the kind of questions asked in the sample paper.

Can't speak for any of the other schools though, he only sat entrance for Magdalen.

The only ones I found on-line were Highgate, NLCS and Habs boys (all already mentioned). Some schools make them available when you apply - i think Kings may be in this category, so might be possible to get hold of them if you know people who applied in previous years. The pre-preps are likely to have them too to use as practice in class.
Might also be worth getting hold of some old level 3 SATS papers (from the days when they had written papers at this level) - i think they are a similar standard. My friend said they used some of them as practice papers as her DS's pre-prep. And of course Bond papers.

timetomove - do you mean KS1 level 3 SATS papers? You can buy books of those can't you?

timetomove · 24/03/2011 15:45

yes I mean KS1 level 3 SATs Papers. I think there is a site where you can download the papers from 2003/2004 for free (plus the standard level papers).
