THE OFFICIAL ROUTE

Understand the exam.

HBS first-round testing covers English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Maths belongs to the second round, alongside an English assessment. The school gives second-round timings of 60 minutes for English and 50 minutes for Maths.

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.

Before you choose

Does this replace a complete official mock?

No. It is original subject practice with the format differences described above. Use the official familiarisation material as well, especially for written work, section timings and components that this collection does not cover.

What will the report tell me?

Your mark, topic breakdown, selections and worked answers. After 100 eligible first standard-time sittings of the same paper version, it also shows a percentile within that Exam Quay cohort. It does not predict admission or supply a national standardised score.

How have the questions been checked?

Questions receive structural and answer review. Mathematical and rule-based items are checked against independent calculations, and reading answers against passage evidence. Independent teacher moderation and pupil timing calibration are still outstanding; difficulty labels are author judgements.
