Why students need help

Verbal reasoning questions use unfamiliar formats that children rarely encounter in everyday schooling. Without explicit practice, even very able children can waste valuable exam time working out what a question is asking rather than answering it. A tutor familiarises children with all question types and builds both speed and accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

When should my child start verbal reasoning preparation?

Most families start in Year 4 or early Year 5, aiming for 12–18 months of regular practice before the 11 Plus. Starting too early (Year 2–3) can lead to burnout. Starting in Year 6 is possible but leaves less time for thorough preparation. For selective grammar schools in high-competition areas, earlier preparation is advisable.

Is verbal reasoning the same as the 11 Plus?

No, the 11 Plus typically includes verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, maths and sometimes English comprehension. The exact combination varies by school and consortium. A tutor can advise on the specific format used by the schools your child is applying to.
