11+ Exam Preparation

Within Gloucestershire, all seven of the Grammar Schools use the same 11+ examination paper (FSCE) for their 11+ exams. The 11+ exam is generally regarded as one of the most challenging for this age group, and is split into three separate papers, all around 50 minutes in length:

The Four Key Components of the 11+ Exam

  • The Adventure Paper (English and Mathematics) – this paper is split evenly between English and Mathematics and has only multiple-choice answer options. The English focus will be upon Reading Comprehension and word recognition, whilst the mathematics focus will be upon problem solving.

  • The Beacon Paper (English and Mathematics) – this paper is also split evenly between English and Mathematics and will involve providing short, written answers. The English focus will be upon spellings, punctuation and grammar, whilst the mathematics focus will be applying knowledge of the four main operations along with some geometry and statistics.

  • The Compass Paper (All Areas of the Primary School Curriculum) – this paper has only multiple-choice answer options and will test children on any area of the Primary School Curriculum, although not through recall but rather through data and table analysis.

Preparing Your Child For The 11+ Exam

The 11+ tutoring service offered by Gloucestershire Primary Tutors is designed to prepare your child for the 11+ exam by giving them the skills, knowledge and understanding to tackle the challenging 11+ examination.

Throughout the 11+ preparation tuition, we will help to improve your child's confidence by avoiding a pressurised environment, so that they can learn all they need to, to pass the 11+ exam with flying colours and get into their chosen school in Gloucestershire.

11+ Techniques & Mock 11+ Exams

During the initial stages of the 11+ preparation, we will undertake a low-key assessment of your child in order to help you make an informed decision regarding the Gloucestershire Grammar School process.

We are able to draw upon a vast range of resources to put together a personalised and rigorous 11+ study programme, which will continually challenge and engage your child.

Your child will practise with regular mock 11+ exams to assess their progress and thoroughly address any areas of weakness.

We will also address fundamental examination techniques, such as time management which is especially important given the strict time restraints found within the 11+ examination.
