What Does the 11 Plus Test Involve?
The 11 Plus exam is designed to test your child’s ability to think logically and apply their knowledge to a range of tasks. The Slough Consortium grammar schools use the GL Assessment, which includes four key subject areas:
Verbal Reasoning: This section measures your child’s ability to understand and manipulate language. Students will be asked to complete tasks such as solving word puzzles, identifying word relationships, and interpreting complex instructions.
Non-Verbal Reasoning: These questions test students’ ability to recognise patterns, sequences, and relationships between shapes. Non-verbal reasoning requires logical thinking and spatial awareness, skills that we help develop through targeted exercises.
Mathematics: Covering the full Key Stage 2 maths syllabus, this section tests numerical fluency, problem-solving, and understanding of mathematical concepts. Questions range from basic arithmetic to more advanced topics like geometry, fractions, and algebra.
English: The English component evaluates reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary. Students may be asked to read passages and answer questions that test their ability to interpret and analyse text. We provide extensive practice in these areas to ensure your child is ready for this challenging section.
