It has been announced that from September 2018, Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools will be changing 11 plus exam provider.

This change, starting with children currently in Year 4, will affect 11 plus entrance exams from September 2018 and beyond.

After moving to the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM at the University of Durham) in 2013, Buckinghamshire will be returning to their previous provider of the GL assessment, following criticism that the CEM 11 plus exam puts children from a lower socio-economic background at a disadvantage.

Ahead of the game

As always, KSOL’s team of researchers have already begun researching into 11 plus GL assessment in Buckinghamshire and have learnt that ‘the tests will continue to assess verbal, non-verbal and mathematical skills and children will sit two papers.’

With over 10 years of experience providing 11 plus tuition for children across the country, you can rest assured that we have the knowledge and resources to adapt both our online programme and centre-based tuition to reflect any changes.

Our experienced tutors create new mock exams every year and they will be incorporating any alterations to the 11 plus exam content and format for children in Buckinghamshire as a matter of course.

We will be keeping all of our customers up-to-date over the coming months so please look out for any new information on our website or here at whatisthe11plus.co.uk.
