The 11+
Untitled Document
Eleven Plus Exams
In the UK there are all different Key Stages and the associated examinations. A very Key examination that every parent should take very seriously is the 11 plus examination, which is at the end of Key Stage 2. This examination typically serves as part of the criteria for gaining entrance to both Grammar Schools and Senior Private Schools. It is true that if your children study at a good secondary school they have a better chance of getting a place at a better university.

At the age of 10-11 years, these are very competitive examinations to be taken so early in life. Every examination requires candidates to have a particular standard of training by a coach who is familiar with the rules and requirements for the competition; and so is 11 plus. However, it is believed that these examinations may have a significant influence and impact on a child’s life and career prospect.
Different schools may have different selection processes, but the exams for which your child will typically need to prepare for will have similar structures. In general, they include
  • Verbal reasoning (VR - problem solving with sequences of words, or numbers)
  • Non-verbal reasoning (Non-VR - reasoning with shapes, patterns and numbers)
  • Mathematics
  • English

Practice is the KEY to success in the 11 plus selection process. Thus familiarisation with the exam papers and practice them under examination conditions will help you and your child identify strength and weakness. This will be quite helpful in the preparation for the 11 plus.

With our 11+ students we pratice materials pulished by GL Assessment and Athey Educational. We also use the Alpha Series materials and Bond materials. These are the most popular revision materials for these tests and many schools in the UK use materials from these publishers for their Entrance Tests. In addition, we prepare similar revision materials which can help to boost our students' confidence. You may download some of our sample materials here.


We have extensive experience of tutoring and training children of this age group and we have successfully trained many students for the 11 plus. We are confident that you will find the coaching by one of our tutors as an invaluable service in the critical time of your child’s life. Please call us now at 020 8445 6407 to book a tutor.
