Warwickshire 11+ Mock Exams

Through our sister company – The 11+ Mock Exam Company we run regular 11+ Mock tests for the Warwickshire 11 Plus Consortium. Our Warwickshire 11 Plus Mock Exam papers have been expertly designed to accurately replicate the most up to date question styles, format, and timings of the actual 11 plus exam.

Understanding the exam process and required exam technique under the strict test conditions is as important as learning the course material itself. Routinely, students need regular practise to familiarise themselves with the format and perform at their best. The optimum number of Warwickshire 11+ Mock Exams to sit is recommended as four. This allows students to be tested on every variety of Vebal and Non-Verbal reasoning style question and identify gaps in knowledge or weaker areas, polish their exam technique and gain confidence in tackling the unique exam format.

Thank you for all your help and support in preparing Alex for his 11+ exams. He has loved your lessons and still claims you are the only person he ever learns anything from. Alex couldn’t have passed without your help so thank you.

Tasha

Thank you so much for all your help. I’ve learnt a lot and enjoyed it very much. I will never forget this!

Student

Thank you for the help that you have given our son. We initially needed tuition to bring him up to speed as he was so behind in class. He has improved so much since then. He has really settled down and caught up. We never believed the 11+ was for him because he hadn’t ever enjoyed learning until attending your tuition and realising his full potential. Thank you
