Grammar Prep Mock Exams
We recommend Grammar Prep Mocks with Morine or Maumita.
Mocks with Morine:
DATE: Saturday the 11th of July and Saturday the 8th of August, 2026
VENUE: Sports Hall, Harborne Academy, Harborne Road, B15 3JL
TIME: 9.00am to 11.30am to 11.45am (8.45 am entry, 11.30/11.45 am departure)
COST: £65 each.
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. July and August mock papers have different content.
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: Payment will be requested at a later date.
