Combining Tutoring with Mindfulness

11plus - Top Tips For Success

As with any examination, it's always important to follow certain discipline with study practice.
Early preparation leaves time for tackling difficulties and building a strong foundation.
Use different 11plus materials to practice from e.g. Bond, CGP, Schofield & Simms, Letts and past papers from both grammar and independent schools.
Read lot of different books to enhance vocabulary. Vocabulary building exercises are crucial with 11plus. Extensive vocabulary helps with developing inference skills too. Learn at least twenty to thirty new words a week.
Master the mental arithmetic, times tables up to 12 times, square and cube numbers.
Practice, practice, practice! The importance of setting a timetable and daily practice cannot be understated.
CHECK your answers. Underline the key facts and do not move on until there is a clear understanding of the question. This is really important especially with worded multi-step questions. Careless mistakes means lost marks.
Do not hesitate to ask for help if something is not clear.
