How should Your Child Prepare for 11+ Exam

Exams were never about writing correct answers, but reading the question paper instruction carefully, filling those extra sheets and maintaining pin drop silence during the exam. This is actually a showoff exercise denoting your supreme confidence and knowledge about the exam.

11+ exam is more of a terrifying exercise than an academic selection platform to grammar and secondary schools. The mouth publicity from the seniors makes it even more nerve jangling for students. 

What actually required is your spontaneity, time management skills and audacity to calm down the butterflies in the stomach. So, how should your child actually prepare for 11+ exam.

Let’s begin with the English and Mathematics. The student doesn’t need to prepare much as the most of the topics are already covered in the national curriculum, if not all.

Verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning are the main obstacles as they are generally not covered in state primary schools leaving it completely to the student’s intelligent quotient. Usually, solving last year question papers combined with reading different books to enhance vocabulary helps. Sometimes, even schools provide booklets especially designed for 11 plus exam and suggest them to solve prior two weeks before the exam.

Before appearing for the 11+ exam, it is important to judge the student’s ability and temperament. Ask your child to solve the 11+ mock test series. It helps in getting used to formal exam environment, timed conditions, chance to learn from own mistakes through in depth performance analysis report.
Overwhelming performances in mock test series boosts the child confidence and gear him up for the actual exam. In the initial phase, ask your child to attempt atleast two mock tests. Once you receive a detailed feedback, find out the areas to be worked on.

This will empower the child for the actual 11+ exam and later on he can solve multiple of mock test to uplift his performances. Einstein is providing 11+ mock test series for years now and hundreds of students are benefited from it. This is your turn.
