Paper 1 · Questions + answers & explanations

Build confidence with complete original passage, vocabulary in sentences, word meaning and relationships, word class and use. These original multiple-choice questions are selected from Plusling’s reviewed bank, starting with familiar ideas and moving towards moderate reasoning.

Haberdashers’ Boys’ uses a paper-based assessment for 2027 entry, combining maths with non-verbal reasoning and English with verbal reasoning. Creative comprehension and creative writing are separate components. The school says no specific preparation is required; use its Quest familiarisation to explore the format.

The topic balance is Plusling’s editorial choice. These resources are not official school papers and are not endorsed by the school. Read the school guide for current admissions stages and entry-year details.
