Participating in mock examinations is an extremely beneficial method for children to get ready for the actual 11 Plus examination.
These practice tests familiarise students with the type of questions they will face, thereby boosting their confidence.
In addition, the outcome of these mock examinations provides an accurate assessment of the children’s current skill level.
Based on these results, parents and tutors can identify areas of weakness and guide the children towards appropriate revision strategies.
Our mock examinations comprise four papers, each corresponding to the four subjects included in the 11 Plus: Verbal Reasoning, Non-verbal Reasoning, English, and Mathematics.
The duration of each paper is 30 minutes, and two papers are taken consecutively before a brief intermission for the child to unwind. After the break, the remaining two papers are taken.
Mock tests have proven to be an efficient means of preparing for examinations, and our Birmingham-based mock examinations offer a simulation of 11 Plus conditions to provide children with an idea of what to anticipate.
Our syllabus is frequently refreshed, ensuring that the practice tests your child takes with us are current and closely resemble the most recent 11 Plus examinations in terms of style and content.
In our Birmingham-based venues, the mock examination conditions will closely mirror those of an actual exam, requiring absolute silence from your child throughout the test.
The rationale behind this strict enforcement is to prevent any inadvertent communication during the actual 11 Plus examination, which may lead to disqualification.
Given that the 11 Plus is typically the first formal examination for many students, it is crucial that they comprehend and adhere to the expected behaviour.
We will provide you with a comprehensive report detailing your child’s performance on the mock examination within 48 hours of its completion.
The report will include percentages for each section and an overall score, enabling us to pinpoint your child’s strengths and weaknesses.
This will allow us to customise the tuition to meet your child’s specific needs.
Certainly, it is entirely possible to take mock examinations alongside tuition programmes, whether in a group or private setting. In fact, we highly recommend it.
This approach not only helps to evaluate the effectiveness of the tuition program, but it also empowers students to identify areas where additional practice may be necessary for examination success.
The effectiveness of mock examinations in aiding children with their 11 Plus preparation is entirely dependent on the individual child.
While there may be some exceptional cases where a child passes the examination with minimal assistance, the majority of children require as much support as possible.
Mock examinations have demonstrated themselves to be among the most valuable resources in this regard.
