Grammar Schools in Barnet
Barnet has no borough-wide consortium. Its three selective schools each run their own admissions process and their own test, so applying to more than one means separate registrations and separate sittings. All three set GL Assessment papers, so the question style will be familiar across them, but the subjects tested, and the number of rounds, are not the same.
Where the official practice material is
GL Assessment
Free familiarisation booklets that show the question types, the timings and how the answer sheet works. GL do not release past papers, so anything sold as a GL past paper was written by somebody else.
