Hey there!

Sorry for the late reply, but I would probably recommend the Coroneos books- I found them really useful and I am sure you will too (if you get the Reading Comprehension ones). Also a year 9/10 textbook is also highly recommended since your maths foundation needs to be really strong. It might be a bit too early to start yr 10 books considering the fact that your still in year 7, but make sure that by the end of this year, you are proficient in year 8 and 9 stuff.

For English, try random writing topics and read tons to make sure that you are ready (especially the classics imo because of how common they are; we had at least three in our reading comp test).

Good luck for next year and I hope that you make it next year. ;)
