GL-STYLE MIXED MOCK 8: MATHS AND VERBAL REASONING. Time allowed: 45 minutes in total, split into two timed sections - do not turn back to Section 1 once Section 2 has begun. Section 1: Mathematics - 25 questions, 25 minutes, no calculator allowed. Section 2: Verbal Reasoning - 30 questions, 20 minutes, across six question types (5 questions each), each introduced with its own one-line instruction: Move a Letter, Compound Words, Opposite in Meaning, Missing Three-Letter Word, Letter Pair Analogies, and Balance the Equation. Every question is multiple choice with five options, A to E, and is worth 1 mark. Choose the single best answer for each question. There is no negative marking, so attempt every question. Total marks available: 55. Work as quickly and carefully as you can, and check your answers if you finish a section early.

Worked example. Worked example (Move a Letter): Move one letter from CRATE to AN so that both remaining groups of letters form real words (do not change the order of the other letters). Which letter moves? Answer: C. Removing C from CRATE leaves RATE, a real word. Inserting C at the front of AN gives CAN, another real word. Test each letter of the first word in turn: only one letter, when moved, will leave two real words with the remaining letters in the same order.
