Susan Daughtrey Education Courses (Assessments)

(Written By Susan For 11+ Candidates)

The Buckinghamshire 11+ tests are provided by GL Assessment® and have been since September 2018 (GL Assessment is the official 11+ test provider for Buckinghamshire and SDE is not associated with or affiliated to GL Assessment). All Susan Daughtrey Education Courses in Buckinghamshire are designed to prepare students for the GL Assessment 11+ tests.

Features Of Susan Daughtrey Asssessments

All SDE 11+ Assessments are written specifically for students at the beginning of Year 4 or Year 5 at school.

SDE’s 11+ Assessments are for parents who want to know:

  • Where their child stands relative to other students at the beginning of Year 4 or Year 5
  • An indication of whether it is appropriate to consider the 11+ and a grammar school education for their child
  • If so, whether an SDE 11+ Course may be a suitable means of preparing their child for the 11+

SDE’s 11+ Assessments are not suitable for:

  • Practice for the actual 11+ exam (you should instead look at our 11+ Mock Exams)
  • Providing an accurate predication of whether your child will or will not pass the 11+ (at this stage we can only tell you whether to consider pursuing the 11+ and, if so, whether an SDE 11+ Course may be a suitable means of preparing your child for the exam – we cannot usually predict the 11+ outcome with these tests as the questions are not set at the 11+ standard)

What is the agenda for each 11+ Assessment sitting?
+

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.

56 mins to 1 hour and 10 mins: introducing the NVR and Maths assessment

During this time the teacher will look at the instructions for each of the types of NVR question the children will be asked to complete on the NVR and Maths assessment paper and explain to the children how to answer the questions using a worked example. The teacher will also briefly look at the format of the Maths section so the children know what to expect.

1 hour and 11 minutes to 1 hour and 40 minutes: NVR and Maths assessment

The Assessment will be conducted by the teacher under exam conditions.

1 hour 40 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes: end

There will be a very short de-brief and then children will be released to their parents.

What feedback can I expect after the Session?
+

Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® is designed to target your child’s individual learning needs. For each question your child answers incorrectly on the tests our bespoke online software (accessed via your secure parent login to the SDE website) will provide you with access to:

  • A copy of the question answered incorrectly;
  • Your child’s wrong answer selection;
  • A link to a short video tutorial, devised and narrated by Susan Daughtrey M.Ed or another SDE Tutor, which can be streamed from home and which includes the following:
    • The test question number, test question and multiple-choice answer options that appeared on the question paper;
    • Where relevant (e.g. for VR questions), an explanation of the technique or method that Susan Daughtrey recommends your child uses to answer the question;
    • Where relevant (e.g. for Maths questions), working out is shown on screen in a step-by-step fashion, with SDE explaining the process we recommend your child should follow to answer the question correctly; and
    • Finally, the correct answer is shown on screen (this can also be revealed separately if you don’t wish to use the video tutorial, for example if it is apparent your child has the necessary subject knowledge to answer the question but made a mistake).

You can pause, rewind and re-watch the video tutorials provided as part of the SDE 11+ Mock Exam feedback as many times as you like, until the 11+ exams in September. Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® has been devised with the specific objectives of giving your child the opportunity to: (a) learn from their mistakes; and (b) improve future exam performance. SDE was the first 11+ Mock Exam provider to deploy video tutorials in this way. This is a unique and innovative resource, which responds to your child’s individual learning requirements by identifying only the questions your child answered incorrectly on the test papers and addressing those wrongly answered questions through the deployment of a video tutorial. This is simply a fantastic way to revise with your child and was described by one very satisfied parent when it was first introduced, as a "game-changer".

What other feedback can I expect after each 11+ Mock Exam?
+

Feedback is provided via a secure parent login to the SDE website. This feedback includes:

  • A Letter to Parents providing information about the assessments.
  • A Record Table™ which shows your child’s score in each element of the test papers, a total score for each test and a combined score for the tests. Next to your child’s scores, we also provide the group average score to help you identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses, relative to the other candidates.
  • Lists of Scores – these lists contain the scores of all students who have ever sat each set of test papers.
  • Access to the unique and innovative Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® service detailed above, so you can see exactly which questions your child answered incorrectly and your child has the benefit of SDE's explanation of how best to answer the question.

A huge amount of work goes into producing high quality 11+ Assessment Papers so please be aware that in order to protect our intellectual property and to ensure each paper is previously unseen by the students attending the Assessment, we do not release full 11+ Assessment Papers. However, you will have access to any questions your child answers incorrectly via Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® to allow you to identify their weak areas.
