ELEVEN-PLUS
Due to our many years of experience in running an 11+ course from Year 3, we are confident in preparing your child for their entrance exam. We cover all 4 areas that are tested – English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning – with regular mocks and assessments.
In 11+ English there is usually a comprehension test in which a passage of text or information is set with several questions based on punctuation, parts of speech and English grammar. There may be a creative writing task required by some schools.
Most 11+ Maths papers test the child on all aspects of maths, including the four main rules (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and fractions, percentages, shape, area, graphs, money, measurement and time.
The 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning test does not have any written questions, but instead it has logic-type questions based on shape, patterns, numbers, symmetry and sequences.
There are around fifty possible types of questions used in the 11+ Verbal Reasoning test. These include letter and number sequences, analogies, letter and number codes, odd one out, middle/size order, word endings/beginnings and anagrams.
