Each English paper contains one full length comprehension, with 8-10 multi-component questions of multiple-choice and short-answer nature, and one writing task. Our written style works perfectly with GL English exams, and is easily applicable to the CEM Verbal Reasoning style which focuses on grammar assessment of passages.

Through understanding how to construct a sentence and a story, a child may in turn decipher each nuance within a comprehension, and understand word meaning within various contexts.

Our verbal reasoning papers adopt a style similar to the GL syllabus, and have been adapted to add a level of context to questions within a sentence, or real world scenarios. Questions may draw on the definitions of words and their use within text, or even simply testing the spelling of challenging words.
