Wide reading helps enormously, and it is not enough on its own. A great many marks turn on knowing precisely what a question is asking for.
The maths in the 11+ is curriculum maths wearing unfamiliar clothes. Most marks are lost between the steps of a question a child can already do.
Non-verbal reasoning is a set of rules rather than a fixed talent. What makes it hard, and why saying the change out loud is what separates quick progress from stalling.
What verbal reasoning actually measures, which types pupils find hardest, and the order we teach them in across Years 4 and 5.
Small group 11+ tuition in Winslow: no more than six pupils to two qualified teachers, about 30 minutes of teacher attention each, every session.
