11 Plus online test
Introduction
You have probably already heard a lot about the
11 Plus online test
tests that you can take for entry to selective schools. With more and more
parents deciding that a grammar school education will provide the best
opportunities for their child in an environment in which the pursuit of
scholarship is paramount, competition is steadily rising for these coveted
selective places.
Also available are full papers in all the required subjects to download which cover every possible type of question, so that your child can complete them under simulated exam conditions, all the time gaining confidence through practice. Rest assured that the questions have been devised by teachers with years of experience in tutoring pupils in preparation for the 11+ exam – you can’t give your child a better head start!
Each area may have a different selection process to another as there is no
real national standard exam, however, the
11 Plus online test
exam typically covers up to 4 areas:
-
11 Plus online test
Verbal Reasoning (problem-solving questions with words and numbers)
-
11 Plus online test
Non Verbal Reasoning (reasoning with shapes and patterns)
-
11 Plus online test
English
-
11 Plus online test
Mathematics.
Where to Start
Don’t panic! Although the whole process can seem like a test for the parents,
not the children, it can be straightforward. Firstly, do your homework!
Your local educational authority will be able to give you a list of selective
schools in your area for
11 Plus online test
. Request prospectuses, make visits (schools hold impressive open days but
personal visits can sometimes give you a better insight to the true day to day
running), talk to both teachers, pupils and other parents and you should get a
‘gut’ feeling for a school that might suit the individual needs of your child.
Areas to focus on are: support and guidance for pupils' welfare, quality of
teaching, attitudes and behaviour, leadership, staffing and resources,
attainment and progress, links with the wider community, activities beyond the
school day, etc. Information can be found about league table positions on BBC
websites and standards from OFSTED reports. Backgound information on
11 Plus online test
testing can be found here.
Sometimes raw scores might also be provided. A pupil’s raw score is simply the number of questions in the test that the pupil has answered correctly.
Taking the Selective Route
Once you have decided to take the selective route, you may wish to find a
local tutor (see our growing list of recommended tutors
– if you find a good one, let us know). Do not assume that the national
curriculum will automatically cover all learning required for the
11 Plus online test
exam, it probably won’t. Above all start early! Experience tells us that pupils
should start to study as soon possible prior to sitting the exam – the earlier
the better – but its never too late for some last minute practice. Obtaining
old exam papers can be a minefield, with schools constantly changing their
formats, and every day spent looking for
11 Plus online test
resources is another day lost.
The
11 Plus online test
Advantage
This website will give your child an advantage and confidence when sitting the
11 Plus online test
exam. Your child can actually take the tests interactively online – a great fun
incentive for the type of child who enjoys computers or needs that extra
motivation to study. This interactive practice is tracked so that the child can
see the progress made and of course doesn’t require hours of marking by the
parents!
The standardisation treats boys and girls in exactly the same way. It used to be the case in educational testing some years ago that separate standardisations were conducted for boys and girls, but this has not been the case for a number of years under equal opportunities legislation.
