• Reconstructed from the published format.
• Officially confirmed: four sections in this order, with recommended timings of 5, 25, 10 and 10 minutes. The timings are advice, not rules - a candidate may spend longer on a section and go back to earlier questions.
• Officially confirmed: five options A to E on every question, a separate machine-read answer sheet, no negative marking, and no rough paper.
• The question count is not published. Ours is built from the official section timings and matches independent reports of the current paper. Treat 62 as a realistic reconstruction, not a fact.
• Two marking rules are official and unusual. A 'select the two most accurate' question scores nothing unless both are chosen, and nothing if three or more are. An open 'select all that apply' question gives partial credit, but ticking every option scores zero.
• The comparison section was added around September 2021. Any practice material without it describes the old paper.

Tests: Number and place value; The four operations and order of operations; Fractions, decimals and percentages; Ratio and proportion and more.

• Reconstructed from the published format.
• Officially confirmed: multiple choice with five options A to E, around 45 minutes, no calculator, no rough paper, and content broadly based on the Key Stage 2 curriculum.
• The question count and the total marks are not published. Fifty questions is the most widely repeated figure and fits the timing, but it is an estimate.
• The school's own worked commentary repeatedly solves questions by elimination - ruling options out on parity, last digit or rough size rather than calculating in full. That is the defining habit this paper rewards, and our mocks are built so that it pays off.
• The official sample states plainly that it does not show every question type used in recent years.

Tests: Multi-step word problems; Number, the four operations and order of operations; Fractions, decimals, percentages and ratio; Measurement and unit conversion and more.

• The school publishes no detail for this paper.
• Officially confirmed: a written paper rather than multiple choice, of roughly 45 minutes to an hour, based on the Key Stage 2 curriculum. The schools state that they do not release specimen papers.
• The question count, the mark total, the timing within that range and whether method is credited are all genuinely unpublished. Every one of those numbers in our papers is a reconstruction, chosen to be a fair rehearsal rather than a claim about the real paper.
• Two independent accounts report that this paper leans into probability, data handling and geometry - the things a multiple-choice first stage cannot test well. We have weighted our papers that way, but it is inference, not published fact.

Tests: Extended writing in response to a supplied stimulus; Following the task instructions precisely; Planning before writing; Genre conventions: report, letter, diary, narrative continuation, viewpoint writing and more.

• The school publishes no detail for this paper.
• Officially confirmed: a written English paper of roughly 45 minutes to an hour, not multiple choice, with no specimen papers released.
• Consistent independent accounts describe it as an extended writing task responding to supplied stimulus material, with the reported marking emphasis falling on following the task instructions, planning, quality of writing and vocabulary. We have built to that description and say so plainly.
• The number of pieces, any choice of titles, the mark scheme and the mark total are unpublished. Ours is a reconstruction.
• The four National Curriculum writing triplets belong to the girls' schools' second stage, not this one. Do not assume the boys' paper uses that framework.
