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

• Year 3 (age 7-8): Focus on building confidence and core English and Maths skills without exam pressure.

• Year 5 (age 9-10): Effective for confident learners who need focused refinement.

Every child is different, so consider their confidence level and how competitive your target schools are.

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

Prices vary depending on several factors:

• The tutor's experience and qualifications (teaching credentials, 11+ specialism, proven results)
• The competitiveness of your target grammar schools
• Lesson delivery method (individual tuition, group classes, face-to-face, or via video call)
• How often and how long each session lasts

Many tutors offer package deals or sibling discounts, which can reduce the hourly rate over time.

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

• English: Reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sometimes creative writing.
• Mathematics: Arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratios, algebra basics, geometry, and word problems.
• Verbal Reasoning: Assesses vocabulary breadth and logical thinking with words.
• Non-Verbal Reasoning: Tests abstract thinking using diagrams, shapes, and visual patterns without words.

Some areas use GL papers while others use CEM, so check which format your target schools require.
