Any tips to improve Synonyms for Bucks test pls?

Post by iss22 »

Hi,

My son is sitting his Bucks 11+ in 4 weeks time (still waiting for the final date). He's done pretty good in his practice papers & his Berks 11+ but words with the same meaning is where he gets most of his mistakes. I bought an app on the mobile for 11+ synonyms practice & he finds it easy but he then gets many mistakes on practice papers. His vocabulary is pretty good as he likes to read a lot. He's comfortable with antonyms but he finds synonyms very tricky.

Any tips from anyone is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :)
