Expert preparation across Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. We build the subject knowledge, exam technique and problem-solving confidence students need to perform at their best.
The four areas of the 11+.
The 11+ Common Entrance Examination assesses students across four key areas. Our programme develops the knowledge, application, analysis and interpretation skills required across each one.
Maths
Number fluency, arithmetic, worded questions, logical thinking and advanced problem solving.
English
Comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and the ability to interpret written information accurately.
Verbal Reasoning
Language-based logic, patterns, vocabulary relationships and structured reasoning under time pressure.
Non-Verbal Reasoning
Visual sequences, shapes, spatial relationships and pattern recognition without relying on language.
Prepared for more than the paper.
We sharpen each student’s ability to apply, analyse and interpret information. This develops the confidence and competence needed to approach unfamiliar questions calmly and successfully.
