11+ Practice exams
Year 5’s
Regular practice exams to complement strengths & identify areas of weakness.
Regular assessments
Monthly assessment opportunities before July, increasing to weekly assessments until late September. Uniquely created, reviewed, and updated by our team of qualified teachers. Calling from 12 years each of successful preparation for the 11+ examinations.
Bespoke feedback
Detailed feedback and homework are sent to allow students to understand their mistakes, make improvements and reduce the chance of recurring mistakes in future assessments. Feedback is given even if a question has been answered correctly but in an inefficient manner or not enough evidence. Our feedback also includes compliments to build confidence. Feedback is provided within a couple of days, with the entire exam being sent allowing reflection time and improvements to be made at home.
Exam experience
DBS cleared invigilator, exam instructions, exact timing, and strict exam conditions. To give your child the opportunity to experience and become more relaxed working in an unusual environment and reduce nerves or apprehension. Increasing chances of success.
Progress
Our assessments are aimed at being more difficult than the 11+ entrance exam. This is to strethch and challange our students and not let them become complaicent during the preperation time.
Why Brilliant Minds?
Our unique assessments are annually reviewed and refined. Compared to our competitors who focus more on fluency-style questions (which are easier to mark). Our exams are a mixture of fluency and mastery questions. We allow our exams to be taken home so that students are able to make improvements to their answers and have discussions with you about how to improve. Some of our competitors text parents their child’s percentage results and a list of topics to go through. Our feedback explains why the student lost marks as this reason may not be an isolated event and maybe causing issues across multiple topics.
