11 Plus Exams Forum

Hi can anyone tell me whether Anagrams appear on the bucks 11+ exams? my daughter says she hasn't come across on any of the workbooks or in the IPS book but I downloaded sheet of internet so not sure it's worth while teaching her techique for it if won't appear on the exams?

thanks.

There are definitely no anagrams in the Bucks 11+.

Thank you!

Anagrams can appear in the Bucks test as part of the analogy questions.

Siren is to ( risen, ????, ?????)
as stop is to (post, ?????, ?????)

Analogies fall into 4 basic groups:

1] similar in meaning
2] opposite in meaning
3] the same connection eg banana is yellow and strawberry is red [connection - colours]
4] spellings

The spelling section can be divided into:

1] anagrams
2] homophones
3] reversing letters [laid/dial]
4] adding or taking a way letters [car is to cart]

I agree with Patricia in part, because she is absolutely correct about this type of question turning up. However, they are "tricks and traps" that occur with certain question types. There are no specific "anagram questions" on the paper. It is worth being aware of the tricks, but there are no specific anagram question sets on the Bucks papers.
