The final weeks before the SEAG Transfer Test matter. Therefore, The SEAG Final Countdown has been created to help pupils use this valuable time wisely.

This brand-new resource provides four weeks of structured and focused revision. It takes pupils right through the final stages of their SEAG preparation.

The SEAG Final Countdown combines targeted revision with 8 brand-new Finisher Practice Papers. As a result, pupils can revise key skills and then put their learning into practice.

However, the aim isn’t to cover everything all over again. Instead, the resource focuses on the knowledge, skills and techniques that pupils need as test day approaches.

What’s included in the SEAG Final Countdown?

8 Brand-New Finisher Practice Papers

The resource includes eight completely new practice papers. These have been designed specifically for the final stage of SEAG preparation.

Each paper gives pupils further experience of SEAG-style English and Maths questions. Therefore, children can continue to develop both their knowledge and test technique.

4 Weeks of Structured Revision

A clear four-week programme provides structure during the important final weeks.

Each day has a specific focus. As a result, pupils can revise key areas without feeling overwhelmed by the amount they need to cover.

Essential English Revision

The SEAG Final Countdown revisits important English skills. These include comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, spelling and punctuation.

In addition, pupils will practise question types that can often prove challenging.

Essential Maths Revision

Key Maths topics are also revisited throughout the four weeks.

These include number, fractions, decimals, percentages, measure, time, money, shape and data handling. Pupils will also practise important problem-solving techniques.

Quick Knowledge Checks

Short activities revisit essential facts, concepts and key knowledge.

These quick checks help pupils identify areas that may need more revision. They also encourage fast and confident recall.

Tricky SEAG-Style Questions

Some questions can catch pupils out even when they understand the topic.

Therefore, the SEAG Final Countdown includes plenty of practice with these trickier question types. Pupils are encouraged to read carefully, think logically and avoid common mistakes.

Revision. Practice. Progress.

The final weeks shouldn’t be about cramming as much work as possible into each day.

Instead, The SEAG Final Countdown provides focused revision and purposeful practice. It also gives pupils regular opportunities to check their progress.

First, pupils revisit important knowledge and skills. Next, they practise applying them to different questions. Finally, the Finisher Practice Papers allow them to put everything together.

The aim is simple: to help pupils approach the SEAG Transfer Test feeling prepared, confident and ready to do their best.

The SEAG Final Countdown is ideal for pupils sitting the SEAG Transfer Test in November 2026. It has been specifically designed for use during the final four weeks of preparation.

Unlike retrieval questions, inference asks children to read between the lines. They must identify clues and draw sensible conclusions from what the writer implies. This workbook develops these essential skills through carefully structured, exam-style practice.

The workbook begins with scaffolded activities that introduce the main types of inference questions found in the SEAG tests. These include character feelings, motivations, tone, prediction, settings and idioms. Each short text helps pupils recognise clues before progressing to more challenging tasks.

The second section contains a range of engaging comprehension passages. Each passage is followed by realistic SEAG-style multiple-choice questions. These questions allow pupils to apply their inference skills in exam-style conditions while building confidence and accuracy.

Inside this booklet you’ll find:
• Progressive activities that build inference skills step by step.
• Short scaffolded practice before moving to full comprehension texts.
• SEAG-style multiple-choice questions throughout.
• Practice covering character emotions, motivations, tone, prediction, settings and idioms.
• Engaging fiction and non-fiction texts.
• Ideal preparation for Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils preparing for the Northern Ireland SEAG Transfer Test.

Whether your child is just beginning to develop inference skills or needs extra practice, Inference Detectives provides focused, high-quality preparation. Pupils learn to think like detectives by spotting clues, making logical deductions and reading beyond the words on the page.

Transfer Test Tricky vocabulary aims to boost your child’s vocabulary using key Transfer Test skills.

The AQE and GL tests require your child to have a wide range of vocabulary to achieve a high mark.

As teachers we are constantly encouraging our students to read more in order to boost their vocabulary.  The more you read, the more words you will know!

However, what if your child is a reluctant reader and you know that their range of vocabulary is holding them back in practice papers?

This is where Transfer Test Tricky Vocabulary can help!

• We have chosen 150 of the most difficult words from past papers.
• Your child will be asked to investigate 5 words per week.   They will also add one tricky word from their own weekly reading.
• Your child will identify if the word is a noun, verb, adjective or adverb.
• They will write a definition for the word, use it in a sentence and identify antonyms, synonyms and rhyming words.

This thorough investigation of each word is the key to learning and retaining new words but will also allow them to practise key AQE and GL Transfer Test skills.

Find out more about our Transfer Test English resources on our English Revision Book page.
