One learner licence. £15 is the same total as three £5 singles, not a discount. Check your saved papers before buying: a bundle contains the same Papers 1–3 sold individually.

Choose how to practise

Print the A4 question booklet for a quiet session at the table, then mark it with the separate answer booklet. Or sit online for autosaving, a topic breakdown and worked explanations. Offline answers are not uploaded; no online score or benchmark is created by printing.

Downloading either booklet before completing the online sitting removes that sitting from the first-sitting cohort comparison. Keep answer booklets with the supervising adult.

Know the format

Our English and verbal-reasoning papers practise first-round skills; Maths papers are MCQ adaptations for second-round mathematical skills. These are independent subject papers, not complete round-one or round-two simulations. Non-verbal reasoning and assessed written English are not included. Each paper’s timer is our stated practice setting.

Independent HBS-related Maths skills practice developing KS2 numeracy relevant to round two. The school does not release its round-two papers or detailed content and marking specifications. This is an Exam Quay MCQ paper with 50 original questions and a 50-minute practice clock, not a reproduction or complete simulation of the unpublished school test. Choose one answer A–E per question. Each correct answer earns one mark; there is no negative marking. Do not use a calculator. Use spare paper for working. NVR is not included. A matching practice duration does not establish equivalence to the school assessment.

Plan three sessions

Start with Paper 1, review a few mistakes together, then leave time to revisit those skills before Paper 2. Use Paper 3 for another practice session when ready. These numbers indicate different questions, not calibrated difficulty.
