Some children just can’t face going into their first mock exam.
For them there are too many hurdles to overcome and they are overwhelmed by the enormity of it all. Our Nervous Exam has been made so that you can replicate exam conditions at home (6 pages of instructions). You then send us all the papers (questions and answers) for us to process, and we will then email you your report. If you have a basic report, you will have your child’s scores and bar charts to see where they are compared with other children. A full report will give you this plus all the links for videos that you need and details of the other seemingly insignificant “stuff” that can nonetheless make the difference between pass and fail in the real 11+.
It is a huge shame that some bright children fail the 11+ due to nerves. They need a gentle approach. Both schools are very accommodating and within reason will do everything they can to help these children. It is normal for the children to have a little cry before an exam, this is no bad thing it releases a lot of tension. This anxiety is a heathy response to an unfamiliar situation but it can get out of hand and become crippling. Our Nervous Mock is for the children who need an extra little bit of help to get into their stride.
The format of our Nervous Mock Exam is the same as our standard mock exams as done at the hall, although the papers are different.
Our standard exam is:
A Maths paper - 50 minutes
An English paper - 45 minutes
A Verbal Reasoning Paper 50 minutes
Non Verbal Reasoning in CEM-style short timed sections
Reports
Like the Mock Exams we do at the hall, a Basic Report will give you your scores, some general information, and if your answers are returned in time to go in them, bar charts for each subject, so you can compare your results with everyone else's.
In addition, a Full Report looks closely at each child's work to see what needs correcting and then gives you advice on how best to achieve this.
Every question in the Nervous Mock Exam papers has a corresponding video explaining how to answer it. The full report gives access to these, with a list for each child of which ones they particularly need to look at.
This is sent out by email as a .pdf file you can view on your computer or phone, or print if you wish.
