Introduction to 11 Plus Exams

What is the 11 Plus Exam?

The 11 Plus exam is an important milestone for students in the UK. It’s an entrance test for grammar and independent schools. Subjects usually include:

  • English
  • Maths
  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Non-Verbal Reasoning
  • The exam helps schools pick students who are ready for academic challenges. It’s taken in Year 5 or early in Year 6.

    Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters

    It isn’t just about being smart while getting ready for the 11 Plus. It challenges your child’s academic understanding. Children freeze when exams feel unfamiliar. But clear understanding turns their worry into winning. Your child can walk into the exam room ready and relaxed with the right support.

    Proven Strategies Used at House of Tutors

  • Building Strong Foundations in Maths and English
  • We start by mastering the basics. Our tutors cover key topics like:

  • Regular Mock Tests and Practice Papers
  • Perfect practice builds real results. We regularly hold mock exams under timed conditions. These tests mirror the real 11 Plus in structure and difficulty. They help students manage pressure. That’s how they track your child’s progress.

  • Time Management and Exam Techniques
  • It is not enough to know the answers; a student has to present that on time is essential too. We teach smart time management techniques. Little brains learn how to spot easy wins and skip time-consuming traps. They also get tips on reading questions carefully. That’s how they avoid silly mistakes. These skills make a big difference in actual exam performance.
