GL-STYLE MIXED MOCK 10: 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: Word Connections, Hidden Words, Opposite in Meaning, Letter Sequences, Compound Words, and Logical Deduction. 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 (Compound Words): Which one word can be added AFTER all three of these words to make three new real words: CLASS, BED and BATH? Answer: ROOM. Try ROOM after each word in turn: CLASS + ROOM = CLASSROOM, BED + ROOM = BEDROOM, and BATH + ROOM = BATHROOM - all three are real words, so ROOM is correct. Always test your chosen word against every one of the words given; if it fails to make a real word with even one of them, it cannot be the answer.
