The 11+ tests are an important part of the secondary school application process in many areas of the UK. These tests assess a student’s aptitude in maths, English, and reasoning, and are used by schools to determine admissions. As a parent, it’s natural to want the best for your child and consider whether the 11+ tests are the right choice for them. In this blog post, we’ll explore some factors for parents to consider when deciding whether to have their child take the 11+ tests.
Your child’s learning style
Firstly, every child is unique and has their own way of learning. Some children thrive in a more structured academic environment, while others prefer a more creative approach. If your child is naturally curious and enjoys exploring a variety of subjects, they may find the 11+ tests restrictive. If your child is comfortable with structured learning and enjoys academic challenges, the 11+ tests may be a good fit.
The Demands of the test
secondly, the 11+ tests are demanding and require a lot of preparation. Students who are not willing to put in the time and effort may struggle with the test. As a parent, you should consider your child’s schedule and whether they will have enough time to prepare for the test.
Child’s personal goals
Ultimately, the decision to take the 11+ tests should be based on your child’s personal goals. If your child is interested in attending a selective school and is willing to put in the effort required, the 11+ tests may be a good fit. However, if your child has other interests and goals, it may not be necessary to take the test.
