11 plus exam preparation

The 11+ exam is a selective entrance assessment used by grammar schools and selective independent schools across the UK. At Scholars Tutorial, we specialise in helping students prepare thoroughly for the 11+ with a combination of in-person tuition and our advanced online platform. The exam typically covers four core subjects: English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Our preparation strategy includes both topic-based and full-length test practice, with detailed performance analytics to track progress.

Students using Scholars Tutorial have access to over 900+ papers and 50,000+ questions, providing unmatched exposure and depth in practice. The platform includes automated scoring, instant feedback, and predictive analytics to estimate performance across different grammar school consortia. Our structured course content mirrors the exam structure and offers both standard format and multiple-choice formats, aligned with GL, CEM, and ISEB assessment styles.

Our teaching methodology includes concept clarity, timed practice sessions, topic-wise drills, and revision support. For those targeting the 11+ exam, we recommend starting early (Year 4 or 5) and progressing through both topic-focused tests and full simulations. Parents can monitor progress and identify focus areas, while tutors can assign homework and revision papers through our dedicated teacher dashboard.
