As parents, we want to make sure all doors are open for our children to thrive in their education. At the same time, we don’t want to make them feel they’re under too much pres- sure or are unable to enjoy their education. With most children missing so

pressure on parents who want their child to go to grammar school within the next few years, and who want to support their child’s preparation for the 11+ exams. Gaps in learning affect a child’s achievements,

can. In turn, parents have the reassur- ance that only the most comprehensive resources can give.
How to use them AE Publications’ workbooks and test- books are designed to be used together, according to their subject matter. Each workbook provides information, tech- niques, worked examples and practice exercises, while the testbooks are an easy way to assess what has been learnt from the workbooks. Aim to complete one book every couple of months, but don’t panic if your child doesn’t hit their stride straight away; allow them time to get used to the scheme. Remember that it’s more important for them to get the answers right than to do the tests rapidly. Speed will come with practice.
*Offer ends 30th September 2021. Promo code is only valid for single books (not bundles, mega bundles or testpacks) Promo code cannot be used with any other promotions or discount schemes.
When to start? Techniques and best practices for tests like the 11+ can be taught, and chil- dren will benefit from taking their
time to learn these in order to achieve optimal results. Once they have worked through the workbooks and testbooks, AE Publications recommends that children are introduced to the test- packs, which will give them a taste of what their exam papers might look like and how to approach the real exam. It’s not too late to be ready for the
11+ exams this autumn If your child is sitting their 11+ this autumn and they haven’t yet used AE Publications’ work- books, don’t worry. Te team at AE Publications recommends using test- packs to identify where there are gaps in their learning and then using the necessary workbooks to fill these gaps and build their confidence. Te testpacks are ideal for final exam preparation. Tey contain practice
papers that simulate the format and content of the exams and can be completed as standard or multiple- choice tests. Te main thing is not to be disheart-
ened. Plan a structure that works for your child while using AE Publications’ books to help build their knowledge and confidence for 11+ success.
