We will all have different problems. Once you have identified any issues, then work on improving your weaknesses e.g. If you find it hard to guess, create some one minute guessing exercises.
Virtual Mock Exams
We’ve tried to add some value to your efforts by selecting some practice papers, getting everybody to do them at the same time and then collating the results.
Not only will you be able to look through the paper to your heart’s content, but we can collate the results and let you know where you have finished compared to everybody else. I would guess that very roughly 75% of people doing a virtual mock exam would go on to pass the 11+, so we will use your position in the test to make a prediction of what you will get in the real exam.
You may of course do very differently in the actual exam, but it will be a useful indicator of your current chances.
