The Latymer School - Round 2 - Paper 2

The complete Latymer Round 2 English exam experience.
 
A full open-response mock prepared in the same school-set, hand-written format as the real Round 2 paper.
 
What's inside?
 
Specially prepared for The Latymer School Round 2 English entrance exam, our papers feature a real published fiction extract followed by a 30-minute reading section and a 30-minute continuation writing task, exactly the structure your child will face on the day. Papers are written to be answered directly into the booklet. Round 2 is open-response, so there is no separate answer sheet. A full mark scheme is included with every paper: a points-based scheme for the reading section and a banded mark scheme for the writing task.

Real published fiction extracts (500–700 words, line-numbered)
Reading: 12 questions on character and motivation, atmosphere, language and word choice, vocabulary in context, inference, and the effect of specific images
