GL-style 11+ preparation
GL-style practice
with greater challenge.
Most GL practice materials are straightforward. Children work through them, score well, and feel ready. Then the real papers arrive — and they’re harder than anything they’ve seen.
“My child is doing fine.” Most parents say this right up until they don’t.

What makes the difference
Harder practice.
Better preparation.
More demanding than standard GL practice
Deliberately pitched above standard GL difficulty so children are never caught off guard by a harder paper.
Builds confidence before real exams
Children who have practised at a higher difficulty level approach exam day with genuine confidence, not assumed readiness.
Designed to reduce exam shock
Harder questions in practice means fewer surprises under timed conditions — the most common cause of underperformance.
Balanced difficulty progression
Questions increase in difficulty through each paper, building stamina and problem-solving ability alongside speed and accuracy.

Questions parents ask
Common questions.
Are these official GL Assessment papers?
No — these are independently created practice papers written in GL Assessment style. They are not produced by or affiliated with GL Assessment Ltd. They are designed to reflect the format, question types and timing of GL-style exams while providing a greater level of challenge than standard materials.
Are they harder than standard GL materials?
Yes — intentionally. Our GL-style papers are designed to provide stretch and challenge beyond what standard preparation materials typically offer. This means children who practise with our books are better prepared for the range of difficulty they may encounter in the real exam.
