What makes Owl 16+ English papers different? 

Owl Tutors 16+ English papers are bespoke. They are written by an examiner with experience of marking 16+ English papers for entry to Sixth Form/ Year 12 (at age 16).

They are created to provide a practice set of papers for independent schools which use essays and creative/ transactional writing at 16+ to set entrance assessments. They can also be used to prepare for entry to any selective school at 16+, including grammar schools.

For students based overseas, they will enable students and families to understand the format of the exam, even if they are unfamiliar with British GCSEs. 

What types of questions are in 16+ English papers?

At 16+, the exams are based on the GCSEs in English that the student will undertake at the end of Year 11. There are specific skills associated with both GCSE English Language and GCSE Literature, including unseen poetry analysis and essay-based writing. These skills are also found in IGCSE English. 

Who can use Owl Tutors 16+ English papers?

They can be used independently for at-home preparation or with a tutor to foster success at 16+. The student should be able to mark them independently using the mark scheme provided. It is best to try as many different types of paper as possible when preparing for the English 16+ exam as it can vary so much in content and style.
