Key features: short tests requiring few resources that are easy to fit into a busy timetable; a target time for each test encourages children to work quickly and develop the necessary exam skills for success in the 11+ and other tests; pull-out answers in the centre of each book can be easily removed; free downloads to support the series are available from the Schofield & Sims website.
