The Slough Consortium, Paper 1, Exam 4

A complete Slough Consortium 11+ mock exam experience.
 
One full Paper 1 designed to replicate the conditions on exam day across all four Slough grammar schools: Herschel Grammar, Langley Grammar, St Bernard's Catholic Grammar and Upton Court Grammar.
 
Specially prepared for the Slough Consortium entrance exam, our Paper 1 mock follows the full Verbal Skills structure used on the day. Each paper contains English and Verbal Reasoning across ten timed sections, the same format, pace and pressure as the real thing.
 
Paper 1 has a distinct character across both parts: comprehension and language-led English, and letter and logic-led Verbal Reasoning. It focuses on the question types that emphasise reading comprehension, vocabulary precision and logical word-pattern reasoning.
 
Both Slough papers are taken on the same day with a short break in between, so pair Paper 1 with our Paper 2 (Non-Verbal Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning and Mathematics) for full exam coverage.
 
Papers include a separate GL-style answer sheet to simulate exam conditions, designed to look and feel like the real thing. A complete answer key with explanations is included with every paper.
 
Question types include:
 
Part A — English
Reading comprehension on a literary passage
Spelling, identifying errors in continuous prose
Sentence completion, choosing the correct word to fit each gap
 
Part B — Verbal Reasoning
Insert a Letter — finding the letter that completes two words
Logic Problems — multi-clue reasoning puzzles
Opposites — selecting two words with opposite meanings (one from each group)
Letter Series — completing alphabetic sequences
Hidden Word — spotting a 4-letter word hidden across two adjacent words
Word Link — finding the word that connects two given words
