Exam technique is not as critical for this exam as it is for the Bishop's 11+ Exam. The papers are quite long and so if your child spends too long on a question, she will normally have some time to catch up. Exam technique is not as crucial, but it can still make a big difference. Observing your daughter during a practice paper can highlight some areas where they are not getting the scores that they are capable of.
Our progress tests are either included in the week's worksheets or can be found in the online drive in a folder called Progress. You can find how to access the drive on salisburyelevenplus.com/drive. If you haven't done so already, you will need to request access to this drive using the instructions on the page.
The target is what you would hope to achieve if you are on track to pass the 11+. If you are getting about the mean, then your likelihood of passing is very good.
