Time limit for 11+ exam
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 7:04 pm
Hi all,
My son will be sitting his eleven plus exam after September 2007 (I think its in October 2007).
I have been practicing the various eleven plus papers with him for over one year now. I was told to use NFER NELSON papers as they are closest to the 11+ question for the Trafford area.
The problem that I have is that the Non Verbal Reasoning Papers have 5 sections of 12 questions.
The instructions seem to indicate to me that he should be given 6 minutes for each section, thats 30 seconds a question.
Is that right? Is that what he will get in the real test or is this just for practice?
Ie will he get six minutes a question or will he be given 30 minutes to complete the whole paper as he please?
To me 30 seconds a question seems to little or maybe thats my fault as for over a year I have never timed him.
Very thankful for any replies,
Regards,
K
