We recommend Grammar Prep Mocks with Morine or Maumita. 

Mocks with Morine:

Please note that these are booked and paid to Morine and any queries should be directed to her at morinewhyte@gmail.com

DATES:  Saturday 5th July and Saturday 9th of August, 2025 (these are entirely different mocks)
VENUE: Sports Hall, Lordswood Boys', Hagley Road, Birmingham B17 8DJ
TIME: 9.30am to 12.00pm (9.15 am entry, 12.00pm departure)
COST: £65
FORMAT: The format will mirror the real exam, based on the feedback I have received over the last two years. 2 papers of just under 1 hour each, to include all 4 subjects (English, VR, NVR and Maths) in each paper, with the weighting as 25% for each section. 
FEEDBACK: An anonymous table of scores,  the return of your child's paper plus answers and a video of my going over the whole paper. 
PURPOSE OF MOCK: Mock exams should be used to familiarise your children with doing an external exam in an unfamiliar place as well as help you decide where you might want to put their efforts over the summer. They should not be regarded as a predictor of eventual outcome as while a significant number of children do score at  around the same level in the mocks as they do in the real exam, there are usually about 1/3 of children who score quite differently.  
PAYMENT: Payments will be requested around June. 
BOOKING: Booking should be done on Setmore. YOU SHOULD BOOK UNDER YOUR CHILD'S NAME from the outset and NOT your own.  Do NOT use an automatic filling in device. If you accidentally do book in your name, then email Morine. 




We do recommend you try to ensure your child attends both mocks rather than one if finances and holidays permit. This year 7 out of the 8 types of VR and 6 out of 6 of the NVR which appeared in the real exam were included in one or other of these mock exams.
