11 Plus Mock Exam Benefits

There are many 11 Plus mock exam benefits. 11+ mocks are particularly useful for these reasons in particular:

  1. Benchmarking is then possible. In other words, how your child’s current 11 plus performance compares to other pupils. These will also be preparing to perform at their best in their 11 plus exam. Hence the strong competition!
  2. Informing parents / pupils / tutors where there are 11 plus knowledge gaps:
  3. When the actual test comes it won’t be the first time children have been through a real 11 plus exam process.
  4. An 11+ mock exam can help to ensure children are used to the stressful exam process in advance. Hence reducing the impact on their nerves and mental stamina of having to sit two or more exams in close succession.
  5. If a mock 11 plus results report is made available then this will:
    • Show how your child’s performance cames to others results.
    • Plus, flag specific knowledge gaps.
    • Thereby allowing parents / pupils / tutors to plan the most impactful final 11 plus preparation.
