King Edward VI Grammar School, Louth, 11 Plus (11+) Exam Format

 

The 11 Plus Exam at King Edward VI Grammar School, Louth, consists of two tests:

 

⦿ Verbal Reasoning

 

These sections test your child’s reasoning skills using language-based tasks, such as identifying patterns, completing analogies, solving codes and making logical deductions. They also measure your child’s ability to think critically and analyse information.

 

⦿ Non-Verbal Reasoning/Spatial Reasoning

 

The Lincolnshire 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning (NVR) sections test students’ ability to solve problems using visual and abstract reasoning. They do not rely on language skills but instead challenge students to identify patterns, relationships and sequences within shapes, figures and diagrams.

 

The Spatial Reasoning sections in the Lincolnshire 11 Plus Exam are designed to assess students’ ability to understand and manipulate visual representations of objects and space. Spatial Reasoning tests mental rotation, visualisation and problem-solving skills.

 

In order to select the top 25% of pupils, test scores are ranked in order and age-standardised.
