Most education experts recommend starting 11 Plus preparation in Year 4, when children are around 9 years old.

• Year 3 (age 7-8): A gentle introduction that strengthens reading comprehension, vocabulary, and basic arithmetic.
• Year 4 (age 8-9): Introduce exam content, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning systematically.

The right timing depends on your child's ability, local competition for grammar school places, and their emotional readiness.

The average price for 11 Plus tutoring in Ballymoney is around £10/h per hour.

The final cost depends on a few key elements:

• The tutor's experience and qualifications (QTS status, exam board knowledge, success rate)

Booking a block of lessons often brings the per-session cost down significantly.

The 11 Plus exam typically assesses four core areas: English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
