11 Plus Exams Forum

Just an observation but the time allowed is ten minutes for 12 questions giving a total length of 50 minutes.

The NEFR practice tests give only six minutes. Total length 30 minutes. DS said that in the practice at school he was given six minutes.

I would say that he is very good at these (wish Maths and VR would match!) but sometimes half a minute per question is pushing it. He said he only finished three out of the five sections and was disappointed saying to me that he needed more practice. I think they were given the NEFR 11A paper which has some hard ones in one of the sections.

Thoughts anyone?

My son also took the practice test on Saturday and complained about the NVR. Be assured, that test, 11A, is the hardest one they will ever have to do, anything else will be a lot easier. I said to my son, not to fixate on the questions he couldn't do, move on.
They also seemed pretty mean with their scrap paper!
