The wirral 11+ exam
When it comes to the Wirral 11+, everyone seems to know something. From years of successful 11+ tutoring, we are confident that we know what is involved and more importantly, what is required for the children to be successful.
The 11+ tutoring at Every Lesson Counts is built around a deep understanding of the requirements of the exam and looks to support your child on every step of their learning journey.
What is in the Wirral 11+?
The exam looks at three skillsets:-
1. Verbal Ability: Ultimately, how many words does your son/daughter know. This will be explored in a variety of ways from similrar in meaning, odd one out, anagrams etc.
2. Maths: There will be a range of questions looking at your child's confidence with a variety of maths topics. These will be taken from the Year 5 and Year 6 curriculum.
3. Non-Verbal Reasoning: This section asks children to solve picture patterns. They can be asked to add missing parts to a sequence, select the pattern that is the odd one out, compete a matrix etc.
The exam itself is split into two 50 minute papers with a short break in between.
What is the pass mark from the Wirral 11+
Wirral suggest that a score of 75-85% is the required pass for the exam.
