11-plus Exam

The 11-plus exam is a standardized test taken by children in the UK, typically at age 11, to determine their eligibility for secondary education, particularly for grammar schools. The exam assesses skills in areas such as English, mathematics, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning. Results help schools allocate places and identify students' educational needs. The exam can be a source of both opportunity and stress for families, as it often influences a child's future academic path and school choices. Preparation for the 11-plus often involves practice tests and tutoring to improve proficiency in the tested subjects.
