11 Plus Exams Forum

Hi
I’ve just joined the site and my son is taking the 11+ in September.

Does anyone know roughly the % needed to pass? I can’t find any info on this and would be good if we knew what we were aiming for. So far he has been doing small sections and we’ve been working through them together, but today he has done a full verbal reasoning test timed. He got 60% within the 50 mins and 67% with an extra 5mins. There were two sections which he left completely and a couple of questions he skipped over. I’ve no idea if this is good or not but if the ones he answered he only got about 7 wrong, I think time will be the main issue he has. We are in Lincolnshire if that makes any difference to how they score. Thanks in advance for any help or advice

You should be aiming for high 70s or 80% for a comfortable pass. Still plenty of time to prepare! We did about 2 to 3 hours a week over summer holidays and then just an exam paper a week in the run up. My dd passed for Kesteven in Grantham.
