The exams in April, May and June were unable to proceed. Parents were given the option to rebook or offered a full refund. The vast majority of refunds were issued within 1-2 business days.
  • Each SDE 11+ Mock Exam Session was limited to 15 candidates.
  • There were special hygiene measures (such as hand washing) at Registration.
  • PPE was made available free of charge at the Registration Desk for staff and students. Staff were required to wear a mask if they need to move within 2 metres of others. In line with DfE Guidance for 9-10 year old children, candidates were not required to wear masks but were welcome to do so.
  • Desks and chairs were disinfected at the beginning of the day and between each use.
  • All exam papers and answer sheets were placed on the candidate’s desk before they entered the Exam Hall or classroom.
  • Candidates were sat at least 2 metres apart in the Exam Hall or classroom (an enhanced measure taken by SDE over and above the requirements of the Government Guidance at the time). Please see our example Tuition Centre diagram and Tuition Centre photos (SDE Burkes Court, Beaconsfield).
  • We maintained records of the seating positions of candidates and staff at each exam and kept these for at least four weeks to assist with Track and Trace.
Comprehensive details of the steps we took to keep everyone safe at the SDE 11+ Mock Exams were seen by the policy team at the DfE who are responsible for Out of School Settings, who commented that the plans “seem[ed] very sensible”.
While we hope for a ‘return to normality’ this year, we are resigned to the fact that special measures are highly likely to be necessary. The exact arrangements will depend on the circumstances nearer to the time and the latest Government Guidance to the Out of School Sector. At the present time, all SDE 11+ Mock Exam ‘bubbles’ are being limited to 15 candidates and accommodation has been booked so that we can adhere to 2 metres distancing between candidates while the children are writing their tests. It may be possible to relax these arrangements if the pandemic subsides. As well as being provide with access to comparative data for the children attending the Session with your child, you will also be able to access our All Time Lists of Scores which include the results of all candidates who have written the same test papers in past years. The All Time Lists of Scores are likely to contain the most comprehensive and reliable 11+ Mock Exam comparative data available.

Restricted Content

Shown below are two tables containing information relating to the questions the candidate answered incorrectly in the exam.

In the first column, the question number is displayed.   In the second column, appears the candidate’s actual wrong answer option.  In the third column, a link is provided to a Video Tutorial, which has been devised and narrated by Susan Daughtrey M.Ed.

Get Prepared

Once the question is displayed on screen, it is suggested to pause the video and reattempt the question, prior to watching the technique/explanation/working out and correct answer that follow in the remaining part of each video.

To allow the candidate to reattempt the questions and also for reference, please DOWNLOAD and PRINT, a clean copy of the Answer Sheets and Comprehension Text which can be accessed using the links found above the tables below.

The child should be sat at a desk or table, with two pencils, the printed answer sheets for both tests, the printed comprehension text and scrap paper for working out.

Use a device with a large screen.  Do not use a small tablet or mobile device.

A parent or adult should sit with the student and pause each video once the question appears on screen, so it can be reattempted. It is suggested to allow the student as long as they need to reattempt the question, rather than timing the student, as it is important for the parent to understand why the student answered the question incorrectly.

Why did the Student Answer the Question Incorrectly?

If the student is able to reattempt the question and answer it correctly with his/her parent at home, it is likely he/she made a careless error in the exam, possibly due to the pressure of working against the clock.  Further exam practice will help the student to improve their exam technique.  However, if the student reattempts the question and answers it incorrectly at home, this suggests the student lacks subject knowledge.  In this case the video explanation should be studied very carefully.  The student should understand what to do if a similar question appears on a future 11+ test before moving on to the next video.

‘Answer Given’ Column

Where you see a letter (e.g “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” or “E” etc.), this is the actual wrong answer submitted by the candidate for that question.  “Multi” means the candidate entered more than one answer (where only one answer was required).  “Blank” means that the candidate did not enter an answer (exam tip: candidates should NEVER leave answer batteries blank in a multiple-choice 11+ test; if necessary, the candidate should ALWAYS enter a guess).
