The 11+ exams are crucial for students aiming to secure a place at a grammar school or selective independent school. These exams are highly competitive, testing a wide range of skills that go beyond the standard school curriculum. At SharpStart, we provide comprehensive support to help students navigate this challenge with confidence.
Our 11+ program covers the following areas:
Verbal Reasoning: We help students improve their ability to analyse and solve word-based problems, including vocabulary, logic, and analogies.
Non-Verbal Reasoning: Our tutors teach strategies for recognising patterns and solving visual puzzles, skills that are often unfamiliar to students.
Mathematics: We cover topics such as arithmetic, problem-solving, and mental maths. Practice is key to building both speed and accuracy.
English Comprehension and Writing: We help students develop strong reading comprehension skills, teaching them how to extract key information from texts. Additionally, we guide them in writing clear, structured, and creative responses.
Exam Techniques: Time management is crucial in the 11+ exams. Our tutors provide timed practice tests to help students learn how to pace themselves and handle exam pressure.
Preparing for the 11+ can be stressful, both for students and parents. Without guidance, many students struggle with unfamiliar question formats and time constraints. That’s where expert tuition makes a difference. Our tutors, who have successfully navigated the 11+ themselves, know exactly what examiners are looking for. We tailor our approach to each student’s strengths and weaknesses, ensuring targeted progress.
By starting tuition early, you give your child the best chance to succeed in this crucial exam. With SharpStart, your child can confidently walk into the exam hall, prepared to perform at their best.
