Hi all
I have heard so many different thoughts about the best time to start tutoring for the 11-plus, therefoire just wanted to canvass opinion.
The following are schedules that are most common:
* January year 5: 8 months before exam
* September year 5: 1 year before exam
* March year 4: 18 months before exam
* January year 4: 1 year 8 months before exam
* September year 4: 2 years before exam
I suppose the school of thought about starting earlier is that it will be less stressful as you will do it over a longer period.
Some of the people who start a year or 8 months before the exam then double efforts in the summer holidays before the exam, as seen in other threads on this forum.
Any thoughts welcomed..
Kind regards
