BOFA does not produce any hardcopy resources to help you prepare for the 11 plus exam. All the books advertised on this site are purchased through Amazon and as such BOFA is not involved in the payment nor delivery process from the Amazon shop in anyway.

However, we do recommend 11 plus books and hard copy 11 plus past paper packs to be used at the appropriate time.
