hi,

I am a recently divorced mum who is looking to enter her daughter for CE/CASE exams but don’t know what books I need to be buying for her. She still has her told 11+ books which were particularly helpful but I feel I need a much bigger library for her study.
she is aiming for schools such as Wycombe Abbey, Beneden School, Malborough etc…

All recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

We used the Galore Park revision guides as background https://www.iseb.co.uk/product/common-entrance-13-science-revision-guide/

For scholarship (CASE) you can buy past papers on the ISEB website, https://www.iseb.co.uk/families-hub/ce-admissions-toolkit/preparing-for-ce-and-case-exams/

A lot of schools have their own scholarship papers - some will publish these on their websites or you may need to request them.

If you scroll down to the near bottom of this page on Benenden's website you will see links to some of their previous scholarship papers

Has your DD's current school not given guidance? Schools that prepare for CE and scholarships tend to have their own stocks of past papers specific to each school being applied to.
