GL 11+ English comprehension & writing practice papers - Victoria Burrill

Four practice exam papers to test pupils ahead of the GL 11+ English test, including the bespoke tests created by GL for individual schools. They cover comprehension, spelling, punctuation and grammar, as well as writing.

The papers are designed to:

- Give practice in answering comprehension, spelling, grammar and writing questions
- Identify weaker areas and improve results by studying the answers, which contain references to Galore Park's revision materials for guidance and useful tips

These practice papers are part of Galore Park's 11+ revision series, which provides a three-step learning journey that teaches children the skills needed to pass rigorous school entrance exams.
