Is your child preparing for the 11+? Here’s what they should be working on this October 📚✨**
October is a great time to take a look at your child’s 11+ preparation and ask:
👉 What are they already confident with?
👉 Where are they losing marks?
👉 Which skills need more practice?
👉 Are they becoming more comfortable with unfamiliar questions?
At this stage, preparation isn’t just about doing endless practice papers.
It’s about building strong foundations in Maths, English, reading, vocabulary, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, while gradually developing accuracy, time management and exam technique.
And don’t forget confidence! ❤️ Regular, manageable practice can help children make progress without every session feeling like a test.
We’ve put together our latest guide covering what your child should be working on during October as part of their 11+ preparation.
