Introduction
The London Consortium have released a new website with further information about their shared examination process. This information indicates that the (11+) exam will comprise an online test, called ISEB Common Pretest, and an interview.
Our sister company, Pretest Plus, specialises in producing resources that are specifically designed to help students prepare for ISEB Pretests.
Whatever your child’s current attainment level, effective preparation in the lead-up to the entrance test is likely to improve her performance ahead of the actual exam. At a minimum, being familiar with the question types, as well as the specific ways that answers must be recorded in the London Consortium 11 plus exam, will help your daughter approach her assessment with confidence.
As the London Consortium assessment will focus on Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, we highly recommend our selection of practice tests, courses and skill-specific resources that are designed in the relevant style. Each practice test is marked automatically, providing your daughter with the opportunity to review every question in detail with a clear, step-by-step explanation.
We would specifically recommend the following resources that can be used immediately after purchase:
