What does the Maths exam involve?
The 11 Plus maths tests cover a huge range of topics, which your child will be taught throughout Key Stage 2, but at an advanced level. The content of the tests will vary depending on your area.
Most of the maths questions on the 11 Plus will require problem-solving and detailed analysis, where children need to understand and apply mathematical concepts. It’s important for children to be well versed in the basic principles before they can use them for problem-solving.
11 Plus maths exam topics:
The 11 Plus maths exam will aim to test your child’s proficiency in numbers, speed, accuracy, fluency, problem-solving and mental arithmetic.
It will cover the following topics;
Number and place value
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Fractions, percentages, decimals
Ratio and proportion
Algebra
Measurement
Geometry (properties and position of shapes, co-ordinates)
Statistics

Non-verbal reasoning 11+ tests are designed to assess how well a child can analyse visual information, solve problems and use critical thinking and logic to solve problems.
These tests are an indication of a child’s mathematical capabilities and powers of deduction, giving the examiners a clear picture of their potential and intelligence rather than their learned ability.
What does the non-verbal reasoning exam involve?
The non-verbal reasoning exam consists of the following categories;
Patterns – Rotations and symmetry
Sequencing – Working out which diagram comes next in a sequence
Geometry – Working out cube nets and how shapes will look when folded.
What non-verbal reasoning skills will my child be tested on?
They need to;
Have a good understanding of mathematical concepts such as symmetry, rotation, direction and shape
Be quick at addition and subtraction
Know all their number bonds and times tables
Have good spatial awareness.
Non-verbal reasoning is generally not taught in school and uses problem-solving based on pictures, diagrams and shapes rather than words.
This often uses drawings, shapes or codes, and your child will need to work out sequences, similarities and differences between these figures or break the code. There are elements of spatial awareness and mirrored images.
For the reasons above, the non-verbal reasoning section of the 11 Plus exam can be hard to predict.
