• Reconstructed from the published format.
• Officially confirmed: written answers rather than multiple choice, roughly 40 to 50 minutes, no marks for working, and difficulty deliberately spread through the paper rather than ramped towards the end. Our mocks use 45 minutes, the midpoint of the published range.
• The schools do not publish a question count or a mark total. Ours is a reconstruction: 25 questions, each worth one mark, matching the official sample's one-mark tariff.
• The official sample answers questions on a printed line inside a sentence that supplies the unit for you. Our papers copy that convention, because getting the format of the answer right is part of what the real paper tests.

Tests: Writing to argue, persuade and advise; Writing to explore, imagine and entertain; Writing to inform, explain and describe; Writing to analyse, review and comment and more.

• Reconstructed from the published format.
• Officially confirmed: one continuous piece of writing, roughly 40 to 50 minutes, addressing one or more of the four National Curriculum writing triplets, with the form named on the paper. There is no comprehension section and no separate spelling or grammar section at this stage - those sit in the SET.
• The schools state that an answer which is obviously prepared in advance, and does not address the form or task set, is awarded no marks. Our papers reproduce that warning and our rubric gates on it.
• No mark scheme, band descriptors, mark total or expected length is published. The 25-mark scheme in these papers is ours, built to reward the things the published guidance emphasises.
