My daughter is in Y5 in a good state primary and we are preparing her for entrance exams next year for Putney High, Wimbledon High and (possibly) Godolphin & Latymer. We are not 100% sure about the private route and won't be applying for more independents than this as it's quite possible we'll stick with state anyway and state will certainly be our back up if she doesn't get a place at any of these three.
Can anyone advise on which books are best for DIY prep? She is a strong academic all-rounder, and we have nearly finished working through 9-10 Bond books (Maths No-Nonsense which she found easy and which we have recently finished and Assessment Practice for Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal reasoning). She is a big reader and doesn't seem to find any of these particularly challenging. I was planning for her to work through the 9-10 books for at least one other publisher (either CGP or Schofield and Sims) then move on to 10-11. Then after Christmas to start Atom.
Can anyone who has experience of prep for these schools advise on which books might be most appropriate for when we finish these Bond 9-10 ones - which publisher and practice papers v 10-mins tests (or both)? Then more Bond for 10-11 or stick with CGP or Schofield & Sims (or continue to mix)?
Many thanks!
