Feedback

You will receive the marked papers back. This provides invaluable first-hand insight into performance. Feedback will be given on areas requiring additional attention and support. Our mocks will also allow parents to see their child’s results in the context of other candidates going for similar schools at 7+, 8+ and 11+.

At Yellowbird we always try to make the exam experience as stress-free as possible (they have enough of that). Sitting a mock reduces exam-day nervous and will help your child to understand what will be expected of them on the day. It also allows children to interact with both new children, adults and to settle down quickly in unfamiliar surroundings.

How it works

Our mock exams are run the same way as normal exams from registration through to dismissal. They are held in a school environment. Children will sit exams in English and Maths with a short break in between. These mock exams are aimed at boosting confidence and are carefully set at the correct level for the time in the academic year for each year group.

Your child will be fully reassured as they are talked through all stages expected in exam situations and we actively encourage children attending to ask questions to ensure they are fully prepared and confident to do well on the day.

Note; Independent schools 11 plus exams: due to the changes in the 11plus exams, we try to accommodate a range of exams that will be given. The 11+ Maths and English papers in September will both be in multiple-choice formats to also support ISEB preparation.  Timings will mirror the ISEB exam as well, but are excellent preparation for any online or written exams. October mock will contain a creative writing task to accommodate some schools that will cover this. The November mock will contain a mix of multiple choice and written answers in the English. Maths will be a written paper. December mock will be a mix of written and some multiple choice in the English and written in the Maths papers to reflect further exams.
