The importance of 11+ practice test papers.

• Practice papers are good for understanding the format of the exam.

• They will help you to understand what is expected of you in the exam.

• They will help you to improve your score by giving you an idea of what type of questions and answers tend to be awarded higher marks by examiners, as well as giving you examples of questions that have been wrongfully marked down in previous papers as being either too short or too long.
  

The importance of verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.

The 11 Plus exam is designed to test your ability in three main areas: verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.

• Verbal reasoning tests your ability to interpret and evaluate information such as texts or diagrams. It requires you to think logically by considering what the passage says before making a decision about it. For example, if a text describes an event that happened at night then it's likely that this happened at least one day before the author wrote their account of events - therefore showing how well you can interpret meaning from a piece of writing.

• Numerical reasoning tests your ability to identify patterns or relationships between numbers or quantities so that you can make predictions about them based on previous knowledge of similar situations (such as working out how many days there are in each month). For example, if four people went swimming together every week then after five weeks there would be 20 more people than when they began swimming together - demonstrating how careful observation can lead us all towards conclusions based on logic alone!

Time management during the exam.

The exam will be timed and you need to work within these boundaries. This means that you cannot spend too much time on any one question, but must focus on answering as many questions as possible within the allotted time.

You should test the paper before you start, so that there are no surprises in terms of layout or content. If any of the questions seem unclear or ambiguous, they should be marked for clarification with a ‘?’ mark, and should not be attempted until this has been done by an examiner at your school or centre.

As part of your 11 plus exam preparation strategy, start with questions which require short answers and simple calculations, then progress to longer essays where needed. It is important to stress again that it is better to leave gaps than fill them with incorrect answers! Never rush through an answer just because a question looks hard; take your time over each one as there will always be some element of luck involved in getting all questions correct anyway – so make sure this does not affect your overall mark! If all else fails and there is no way out other than guessing at the answer (and making sure you do it!), feel free! There is nothing worse than having half completed answers because they were poorly thought through even though they looked correct when written down initially - so don't let this happen!!
