MOCK TESTS
11+ MOCK EXAM – Returning again in September 2024
Once a year, for the past 9 years, we have run a very successful mock exam for all of our 11+ students.
The mock test will be held under exam conditions that are similar to the 11+ school exams. Our clients always find this experience very helpful. Most importantly, the students found the real exams less daunting as they had already been exposed to the sort of environment they will experience on the day. We give detailed feedback on each of the papers they take to help guide you on their strengths and weaknesses.
The mock exams run in exactly the same way as normal exams from registration to dismissal:
-The children sit the exams with a short break in between each one.
-They are expected to organise their own time and answer questions while working to the clock.
-They have to interact with new children and adults, as well as cope with unfamiliar places, sounds and distractions.
The exam consists of a total of three papers. The tests have been carefully designed by ourselves and are based upon real 11+ exams
THE PAPERS:
English Paper – This will include fiction and non-fiction passages with questions covering both multiple choice and written formats. Following that, there will be a writing task that requires a creative and imaginative response.
Maths paper – This will cover most topics that come up regularly in exams and we split the paper into 3 sections with increasing difficulty.
Reasoning Paper – This will cover most exercises that come up regularly in exams such as codes, word association, synonyms, antonyms etc. The paper will be split into three parts: verbal, non-verbal, and problem based cognitive ability tasks.
The Testimonials:
‘I would particularly like to recommend the mock exam organized by Martins-Allen Education, which is excellent. In early autumn, my daughter took a mock exam at another education agency, which left much to be desired as it was quite easy and provided very limited feedback, so I found it of very little value. I then signed my daughter up for this exam, which was a lot more challenging and a lot closer to the real exams offered by the top schools that we were targeting.
‘When Martins-Allen Education sent me my daughter’s exam scores, they also provided me with excellent, personalised and very detailed feedback pointing out the aspects that were adequate as well as identifying all the areas that still needed improvement. From then on, during the final stretch before the exams, we were able to really zero in on these to make my daughter completely ready and 100% comfortable’
‘The mock 11+ was a very useful experience in that it gave him a feel for what sitting down for 3 hours of exam felt like and helped to emphasise the need to work fast and accurately.’
