Suggested practice timeline

  1. Year 4: Build confidence and two-step reasoning across a wide range of topics, a little and often.
  2. Year 5: Deepen maths and English, start verbal and non-verbal reasoning in earnest, and add light timing.
  3. Year 6 (autumn): Timed, exam-style practice papers in the months before Cheltenham Ladies' College's 11+ assessments.
  4. Year 6: Secure Year 6 maths and English and build reasoning stamina before 13+ assessments begin.
  5. Year 7: Early KS3 stretch work to keep skills sharp. For Year 8 Common Entrance or scholarship papers, your child will need extra subject study beyond Pass Masters.
