Mock Examinations

Taking part in mock examinations is one of the most effective ways for children to prepare for the actual 11 Plus.

Mock examinations help teach students what to expect during the real 11 Plus examination and therefore allow their confidence to grow.

Moreover, the results from these practice tests are the best measure of the children’s current abilities.

Using these test results, tutors and parents can spot weaknesses and veer the children in the right direction during revisions.

The mock tests we provide consist of four papers. There is one paper for every subject found in the 11 Plus: Verbal Reasoning, Non-verbal Reasoning, English, and Mathematics.

Each paper lasts 30 minutes. Your child will sit two papers, followed by a short break where they can relax. Once the break has ended, your child will sit the final two papers.

Mock examinations are one of the most effective methods of preparation for examinations. Our mock examinations in Birmingham simulate 11 Plus examination conditions to help children experience what to expect.

We update the syllabus regularly. This means that all the practice examinations your child will sit with us will be up-to-date and similar to the style of the recent, real 11 Plus.

The examination conditions for the mocks in our Birmingham-based venues will be very similar to those of a real examination.

This means that your child has to remain silent and will not be allowed to talk while sitting the mock.

We enforce these conditions because it is vital that in the real 11 Plus, your child does not accidentally communicate, as this can cause disqualification.

The 11 Plus is likely to be your child’s first experience with a formal examination. As a result of this, it is essential they understand the behaviour expected of them.

You will be contacted within 48 hours of the completion of the mock test with a report.

This report will detail how your child performed on the test, giving percentages for each section as well as an overall score.

By using this report, we can identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses, which can ensure tuition is tailored to their needs.

Yes, they absolutely can.

As a matter of fact, we recommend that mock tests are taken along with the tuition programmes whether it is group tuition or private.

Doing so not only helps ascertain how much the children have learned from the tuition programmes but also helps children themselves to determine the areas of the examination they may need to further practise.

Whether mock tests help or not depends entirely on the children.

While a few children do pass the 11 Plus without virtually any help at all, most children require as much help as they can get.

And mock examinations have proven to be one of the best tools in the preparation for the 11 Plus.
