Is Bond the best for 11+prep, particularly English?

Hello, what book does your child's school recommend? I'm just curious if there's a better brand than the Bond books? Someone mentioned RSL. We have the CGP books.
Thanks

Across England, different counties use different styles of tests for the 11+. Usually CEM or GL. Private schools often use other tests systems such as CATs tests.

To advise fully, it would be useful to post the county or Local Authority you are looking at e.g. Kent, Buckinghamshire.

Or if you are looking at private schools rather than state funded grammar schools.
