Frequently Asked Questions
This live online course is delivered by 11 Plus Tutoring. It is specifically designed for Year 5 pupils in Darlaston, Walsall, and across the Black Country who want expert exam practice during the August holiday window.
Yes. The entire curriculum is tailored directly to the unified West Midlands GL Assessment entrance test. We provide complete coverage across all four core exam subjects: English Comprehension, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal/Spatial Reasoning.
No, achieving a qualifying score does not automatically guarantee entry. Because selective admissions are highly competitive, final placement depends strictly on the school’s Published Admission Number (PAN), age-standardised rankings, and local council allocation criteria.
While we thoroughly review key topics, the intensive pace is best suited for students who already have a baseline understanding of Year 5 English and Maths. The programme functions as a rapid booster course to sharply improve exam speed, time-saving shortcuts, and test-day confidence.
The course provides targeted preparation for all selective institutions within the regional partnership, including popular local options such as Queen Mary’s Grammar School for boys and Queen Mary’s High School for girls.
