Free SEAG Transfer Test Spellings List
 

Parents often search for reliable spelling and language lists to help their child prepare for the SEAG Transfer Test. The challenge, however, is that these lists vary greatly in quality and coverage. While there are many versions available online, the reality is that no single list can ever include every possible word that may appear in the Transfer Test.

 

The SEAG format is designed to test a wide range of vocabulary, comprehension, and spelling skills, and examiners can select words from a very large pool.That said, preparation is still extremely valuable. A strong spelling and vocabulary foundation can make a real difference to a pupil’s confidence and performance on the day of the test. The list we offer has been carefully compiled to provide a broad selection of words that are age-appropriate, relevant, and highly useful for pupils working towards the Transfer Test. Our aim is not to claim that these are the only words that will appear, but rather to give children exposure to the types of words that are most likely to be tested.

​

Unlike many free lists that are often incomplete, outdated, or too narrow in scope, our spelling and language list:

• Covers a wide range of common and challenging words

• Reflects the type of vocabulary typically used in the SEAG Transfer Test

• Helps children practice both spelling accuracy and word meaning

• Supports confidence, fluency, and familiarity with exam-style words
  ​

By working through this list, pupils will strengthen their spelling, expand their vocabulary, and become more comfortable with the kind of language they may face in the exam. While no resource can guarantee coverage of every Transfer Test word, this carefully prepared list is a practical, structured, and effective tool to support your child’s learning journey.

How can I encourage my child to grow their SEAG vocabulary?

​

The best way to build your child’s vocabulary is through regular reading and everyday conversation. Encourage them to read a wide variety of books, newspapers, and articles, and take time to discuss any new or tricky words they come across. Word games, flashcards, and puzzles can also make learning fun and engaging. Most importantly, use new words naturally in conversation so your child can hear them in context—this helps them remember and apply the words more confidently.
