Prep tips

  • Three papers in December: English (45m) + Maths (45m) + NVR (40m)
  • English has a 15-min creative-writing task — worth 15 of the 30 marks
  • Maths is four graded questions: each part A→D escalates within the same 10 mins
  • NVR uses GL Assessment papers — practise GL-format matrices and rotations
