You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” (The Twits by Roald Dahl).

Reported to be the trickiest verbal reasoning section in the Bucks GL 11+ exam 2018!

11+ Information Coral

This workbook contains 50 questions with answers. It is perfect for working independently at home and is an ideal resource for the long summer break. Exclusively offered through our website, it is available for immediate print after purchase.
There are 21 types of questions set by GL Assessment, which children must learn for the 11 plus exam (known as Types A-Z). It is important to be familiar with all the question types, as they can vary from year to year. Verbal Reasoning Type 1 is not one of the 21 types, however it was in the Bucks eleven plus exam last year. We recommend that students keep building their word knowledge and complete lots of different vocabulary style questions in the lead up to the exam. 
Tops 11 plus resources will ensure your child receives all the practice they need, so they are fully prepared and confident on the day of the exam.
