Why Families in Stone Seek the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course
As the September exams approach, many families in Stone choose our online August booster course rather than studying alone. Here is why:
Aiming for Top Schools
Parents want their children to pass and get into great nearby schools, like Haberdashers' Adams or St Joseph's College.
Reasoning Questions
The exams test Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. These are tricky puzzle subjects that normal primary schools do not usually teach.
Stopping Summer Learning Loss
Six weeks without school can cause children to forget basic Maths and English. Our course keeps their minds sharp and ready.
Practising Fast Speed
The test has very tight time limits. We teach smart shortcuts so students can finish all the multiple-choice questions before time runs out.
No Traffic Stress
Since lessons are live online, children learn comfortably from home. Parents get to completely skip the heavy traffic on the A34, A51, or M6.
Reducing Exam Stress
Regular practice with timed mock tests helps children get used to the real exam feel. This builds their confidence and helps them feel less scared or anxious on the big day.
