Wondering how others are preparing for 7+ ?
In terms of resources, books, mock exams, practice, routine etc ?
We have recently started Bond books 6-7 (before that were just doing random sheets from anywhere)

Thank you

I recommend schofield and sims books, as well as a wide range of sample papers by a variety of schools. Here is an overview with links to sample papers from many schools:

Thank you @sanam2010
I was thinking of doing the books first and then sample papers - exam is in first week of March. Bit worried now as not much time left...
and DS is doing silly mistakes (not reading or checking properly)
How are you getting on?

oh, there is plenty of time! It is good to prepare little by little consistently, but children can still progress a lot in two months. If your exam is in March, I guess that also means it is not at one of the typical superselective London schools? Because the sample papers in the link may be much harder than what your child will be tested on. with about 20-30min per day, you can get very far even in one month, you will be surprised.

We are in Sussex - I have downloaded all the 7+ sample papers from internet and some of them found really hard. Not sure if that is the actual standard. They will be assessed on test of Reading Comprehension, Creative Writing, Maths Problem Solving, Group activity and Interview.
Doing the Bond 11+ for English Comprehension and Maths. And a creative writing topic (common) 2-3 times a week.

We did bond English math vr and nvr 6-7, 7-8 and the beginning of 8-9. Then examplus papers and generally got >85%. DD passed all three written exams for the schools we applied to so seems like it has worked
