Introducing the new way to get ready for the 11+ with Bond. 

Bond 11+ Assessment Papers are becoming 11+ Assessment Practice and getting a full makeover!

Bond 11+ Assessment Papers have been helping children to achieve their potential in the 11+ exam for 60 years and have become a classic in the field of selective school test preparation, trusted by tutors, teachers, and parents alike. But the world doesn’t stand still and the 11+ exam continues to evolve, so even classics need a shake up from time to time. The new Assessment Practice books take everything that was great about the Assessment Papers and make them even better.

What’s new?

  • Name: Assessment Practice (previously, Assessment Papers)
  • Size and design: the new books are bigger and feature a clean, colourful new design, for a better user experience
  • Structure: to enable progressive development, practice starts with topic-focussed Learning Papers, followed by a series of mixed-topic papers, and then two full test papers, which can also be divided up into shorter tests, if preferred
  • Up-to-date practice: all questions are aligned to the requirements of current 11+ exams
  • Brand new questions: around 20% of the practice content is entirely new to these editions
  • All-new learning material: guidance and worked examples have been added, because practice is most helpful when you know the right technique
  • Full answer explanations: empowering children and the adults who support them with an understanding of where mistakes were made and how to get extra points.

What's staying the same:

  • Hundreds of practice questions: written by experts who know how children learn best
  • Affordable: bigger book, same great price.

Assessment Practice titles will be published from 2024 onwards, starting with Book 1s for ages 9-10 and 10-11+ in August 2024, followed by titles for ages 5-6, 6-7, and 7-8 in March 2025, and others following soon after that.
