Exam Papers
The final stage of any revision journey is to practise
with real past papers.
Common Entrance papers for 11+, 13+ and Common
Academic Scholarship Exams are written by ISEB subject
editors and are taken by children in Year 6 or Year 8 who
are applying for entry to senior independent schools.
One year after these exams have been sat, the papers
become available for parents and tutors to purchase.
Galore Park is the exclusive distributor of ISEB
exam papers
.
These past papers provide the best and most targeted
preparation for children looking to secure a place at their
chosen school.
Please note:
All exam papers are printed on demand and therefore non-refundable. A £5 handling charge applies every time you place an
order for exam papers, although there is no limit to the number of exam papers you can order at one time.
What level and syllabus will my child be sitting?
If you are unsure which level exam your child will be sitting, or in the case of Religious Studies, which syllabus your child
will be sitting, please contact your child’s current school and the senior school for which they are applying.
When will my order arrive?
Please allow five working days for your order to arrive. As exam papers are printed on demand, we are unable to offer
express delivery.
