So, would you pass for the Grammar School now ?!
Here is the Maths entry test, there are also two more 11+ papers to complete; ‘Verbal Reasoning’ and ‘Non-verbal Reasoning’. Good luck – but remember, they were designed to assess eleven year olds!!
There was no English test as such; the second of the three papers was ‘Verbal Reasoning’.
The final paper of the three was ‘Non-verbal Reasoning‘. This was my favourite because, to this day, I love puzzles and these felt little more than that. I can remember my first priority being to try to leave the class first, which seemed far more important than using any remaining time to check my answers, but I still managed to scrape through somehow.
