Parents, in the final few weeks before the 11+, your job is not to panic.

Children take their cue from us. If the adults around them feel stressed, worried or disappointed after every practice paper, they will feel that pressure too.

At this stage, confidence matters just as much as practice.

Keep the routine calm, praise effort, review mistakes gently, and remind your child that one paper, one score or one tricky question does not define them.

The goal now is to help them walk into the exam feeling prepared, supported and capable.

🧠 THINK FAST THURSDAY - SWIPE FOR THE ANSWER 🧠

Firstly, we need to know that April has 30 days.

From 30th April, we can keep adding 7 days so that we stay on a Wednesday!

30th April + 7 days = 7th May
7th May + 7 days = 14th May
14th May + 7 days = 21st May
21st May + 7 days = 28th May

Then, from 28th May → 30th May, it is +2 days.

So:

Wednesday + 2 days = FRIDAY!

Don’t be afraid to do these things in the 11+ exam

Lots of children are conscious of what people are doing/ thinking around them during an exam- it’s our job to remind them that no one cares! They need to concentrate on their own paper and their own thinking!

🎥 THINK FAST THURSDAY EXPLANATION 🎥

Commas between adjectives

Use a comma between two or more adjectives when they independently describe the same noun.

A useful test is to see if you can put “and” between the adjectives.

☀️ TOP TIP TUESDAY ☀️

If your child is heading into Year 4 or Year 5 this September, don’t let their writing skills take a holiday!

Just 10–15 minutes of fun writing a few times a week can help maintain confidence, improve vocabulary and make the transition back to school much easier.

Remember, writing doesn’t have to feel like homework. Stories, diaries, postcards, comic strips and even film reviews all count!

TOP TIP TUESDAY

One of the most valuable exam skills your child can learn is knowing when to move on. ⏱️

It’s easy to get stuck trying to solve one tricky question, but in the 11+, every minute counts.

Encourage your child to remember:

➡️ Skip it. Come back to it.

If they’re unsure, it’s often better to move on, answer the questions they can do and return at the end if there’s time.

Remember, the goal isn’t to answer every question in order- it’s to score as many marks as possible.

📌 Save this post to remind your child before their next timed paper!
