Is there a cheaper way to get the 11+ books for the grammar school test?

Posted by underarock12@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 10 comments

I’ve made a list of the free online resources available, but I’d like to purchase some books too. Currently the whole set would cost £80. Is there a cheaper option, or should I just go ahead with the above?

Share the list? Vinted is great for this sort of thing, or check FB marketplace in a grammar school area in the weeks after the 11+ is sat

Abebooks often has super cheap second hand versions of textbooks if they're fairly common ones. Used it a lot for uni.

They must get resold on somewhere like Facebook marketplace a lot. Or check eBay or Amazon used.

Have you checked charity shops? I used to volunteer at one ages ago and I seem to remember it getting 11+ books donated, they'd sell for like £1 each or something.
