Eleven Plus Exams Multiple Choice Questions CD

Overview

ElevenPlusExams have in partnership with The Tutors developed a CD with over 1,000 verbal reasoning multiple choice practice questions specifically targeting the 21 types of questions found in the actual eleven plus examinations for grammar schools and senior independent school (common entrance) selection examinations.

This makes it ideal practice for areas such as Buckinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Wirral which set all 21 types as well as the rest of the country which focus on the first 15 types presented on the CD. Most senior independent schools traditionally set the first 15 types. There are 50 self-timed and automatically marked questions for each question type.

Whilst most education authorities set 80 verbal reasoning questions in 50 minutes, more recently 100 questions in 45 minutes have been introduced in parts of Kent and the a consortium of schools in Hertfordshire. Our expectation is that as children are better prepared than ever for the eleven plus exams it is only a matter of time before 100 questions in 45 minutes becomes the norm and all 21 types of questions are introduced in all regions.

Another trend is that computer based verbal reasoning tests have begun to be introduced as of this year in parts of the south coast.
