General 11+ advice

[MaryW]

My daughter is about to start year 5 in September 2015 and turns 9 at the end of August. She has had tuition every 2 weeks doing core skills and will now start every week tuition for an hour. She is doing 9-10 Bond booklets and we are concerned that this is not enough. Can anyone advise please? When should she start the 10-11 books and are these the correct ones for the 11+?

We have the verbal, non verbal and maths books.

Any hints, advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks

You will need to say which school you are looking at as different schools have different tests etc.

It sounds like you are already doing plenty though.

My Ds also going into Year 5. We are starting on the 10-11 Bond books up until half term with some creative writing thrown in. After that, Schofield and Sims Comprehensions and various other assessment books then GL and other actual papers from Easter onwards and at this time also ensure the whole curriculum for English and Maths has been covered. Tall order and not sure whether we'll get there but it feels more solid for me when I have a plan!
