The session lasts 1 hour and 40 minutes and will be overseen by an experienced SDE 11+ teachers. The time will be used as follows:
0-15 minutes: introducing the English and VR assessment
During this time the teacher will look at the instructions for each of the types of VR question the children will be asked to complete on the tests and show the children how to answer the questions using a worked example. The teacher will also briefly look at the format of the English section so the children know what to expect.
16-45 minutes: English and VR assessment
The Assessment will be conducted by the teacher under exam conditions.
46-55 minutes: break
The children will be allowed to go to the toilet, walk around the Tuition Centre and get a drink of water. Our Tuition Centres in Amersham, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross where the Assessments take place are self-contained premises and you can therefore be sure that your child will remain safely within the venue during this time. Parents are not required or permitted to return during the break.
