🗓 Date: Sunday, 27th July and 10th August, 2025
📍 Location: Sanderson Hall, Mickleham Road, Orpington, BR5 2RW
⏱ Subjects: English, Verbal Reasoning (VR), Non-Verbal Reasoning (NVR), and Mathematics
📊 Includes: Detailed performance report for each student
🧩 Why Eleven Plus Mock Exams Matter
Mock tests are not just practice—they’re preparation.
✅ Simulate real exam pressure
✅ Identify strengths and weaknesses
✅ Practice time management
✅ Improve exam stamina
✅ Boost confidence and focus
Our eleven plus mock tests include full-length papers in all four core areas. Below, we explain what your child will be tested on and how our analysis can help guide their revision.
📘 English: Reading, Grammar, Vocabulary
The English section assesses how well a child can comprehend text, understand language structure, and interpret meanings.
Key areas:
Comprehension: factual, inference, vocabulary-in-context
Grammar: sentence structure, verb tenses, punctuation
Spelling & Vocabulary: synonyms, antonyms, cloze tests
How we help:
Comprehension with varied question types
Cloze passages to test context-based vocabulary
Grammar drills based on past trends
What the report shows:Topic-wise strengths and weaknesses (e.g., inference vs factual recall), time taken per question, and accuracy.
🧠 Verbal Reasoning: Word Logic and Language Puzzles
Verbal Reasoning assesses your child’s ability to solve logic problems using words—a skill not usually taught directly in school.
Key topics:
Analogies and relationships (e.g., “pen is to write as…”)
Letter sequences and codes
Synonyms/antonyms
Odd-one-out logic
How we help:
Balanced question types across patterns
Practice for CEM and GL style formats
Pacing strategies to avoid rushing
What the report shows:Performance per topic area (e.g., analogies vs codes), highlighting weaker logic segments for focused revision.
🔷 Non-Verbal Reasoning (NVR): Patterns and Shape Logic
NVR is purely visual—it involves solving problems using shapes, patterns, and spatial awareness.
Key topics:
Shape sequences
Analogies using visuals
Reflection and rotation
Odd-one-out
Code breaking with shapes
How we help:
Full visual reasoning section with varied difficulty
Rotations, symmetry, and sequencing
Shortcuts and visual clues explained post-assessment
What the report shows:A breakdown of visual problem-solving skills, with clear feedback on whether issues are related to rotation, logic, or pattern recognition.
➗ Mathematics: Speed + Accuracy = Success
Maths in the 11+ exam is not just about right answers—it’s about getting them quickly under pressure.
Key topics:
Arithmetic (addition, subtraction, etc.)
Fractions, decimals, percentages
Measurement and geometry
Word problems and logical reasoning
Sequences and algebra basics
How we help:
Real exam-style questions from GL and CEM boards
Emphasis on multi-step reasoning
Problem-solving strategies taught and tested
What the report shows:Topic-by-topic analysis (e.g., percentages, area), and time efficiency. You'll know exactly which math areas need brushing up.
📊 Detailed Report = Smart Revision
Each child will receive a comprehensive report including:
Overall performance with rank
Score breakdown by subject
Accuracy vs time tracking
Topic-level diagnosis (e.g., “Weak in VR analogies”)
Top 3 strengths and 3 areas to improve
Suggested revision plan
🎯 It’s not just about knowing the score—it’s about knowing what to fix.
