The 11+ Examination Process for Independent Schools

The 11+ examination process is used by many independent schools in the UK as part of their admissions process for entry into Year 7.

The 11+ exam is typically taken in the final year of primary school (Year 6) and is designed to assess a student's academic ability and potential.

The exam usually consists of two or three papers, covering subjects such as maths, English, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning.
The exact content and format of the exam can vary between schools, so it's important to check the specific requirements of the schools you are interested in.

In addition to the exam, some schools may also require interviews and assessments in other areas such as music or sport.

It's important to note that the 11+ exam is just one aspect of the admissions process and schools will also consider other factors such as references from the student's current school and their overall suitability for the school.

Preparation for the 11+ exam is usually recommended, and there are many resources available such as practice papers and tutoring services.

It's important to ensure that any preparation is appropriate and not excessive, as the aim is to support students in demonstrating their abilities rather than putting undue pressure on them.
