11+ MOCK EXAMS - BUCKS

At each Paper Set we will emulate, as far as reasonably practicable, your child’s most likely experience on the day of the real GL Assessment Buckinghamshire 11+ tests. To this end, in each location our GL Assessment-style 11+ Mock Exams (for Buckinghamshire 11+ candidates), include the following features:

• There are seven Paper Sets: Paper Sets A – G. Each letter denotes a unique set of test questions.
• Each Paper Set consists of two test papers:
  • Test Paper 1 is a Verbal Reasoning Test comprising: (a) comprehension; and (b) technical English (such as cloze and proof reading); and (c) verbal reasoning questions (typically from the ’21 Types’ of verbal reasoning question, with some newer format VR questions also appearing on some of the Paper Sets);
  • Test Paper 2 comprises: a maths section and non-verbal reasoning (including spatial reasoning) sections (of which there are usually several short sections).
• Each test contains 45 minutes of questions.
• The tests are multiple choice with a question paper and separate multiple-choice answer sheet.
• The tests are administered using audio administration and the test papers contain separately timed sections.
• Prior to each timed Section within the test paper, the Instructions for the questions in that Section and an example of each type of question are presented (and read out audibly by the audio administration). There is then a short period given to attempt several practice questions (the answers to which are subsequently read out by the audio administration).
