Year 5 – 11+ ISEB & Consortium Group 24-27 May

Year 5 – May Half-Term 11+ ISEB & Consortium Group
Saturday 24 – Tuesday 27 May 2025

This short, intensive group will cover maths, English, VR and NVR. The group will be led by our CEO and co-founder, Dr Tom Parkinson, a ‘super tutor’ with fifteen years experience of preparing students for entrance exams. This fun, high energy group will focus on aspects of entrance exams which students find particularly troublesome, and will aim to tackle them at an early stage.

• Day I –  the focus will be English and VR. We will look at cloze comprehension – for the ISEB and Consortium exam – VR make-a-word and ‘word building’ strategies, and the different types of texts students may encounter – poetry, play texts and non-fiction.
   
• Day II – the group will address maths and NVR. We will begin with NVR, reviewing strategies for figure analysis (hole punching) and figure recognition (hidden shapes). The morning will feature a special panel from an NVR expert, who will share strategies and tips. In the afternoon, we will work on strategies for maths and word problems and verbal questions.

Day III – we will look at the ‘forgotten rules’ – important aspects of entrance exams which are often overlooked. We will address shuffled sentences, counting cubes, roman numerals and English SPaG.

Day IV – we will prepare for and take an assessment in entrance exam format. This will include multiple-choice English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning (60 minutes) and a short written assessment (30 minutes).

Students will receive detailed feedback, grades and advice the following day.

The group will feature a fun and engaging learning games, and, as with all Tom’s groups, participants will have the chance to earn points and use them to purchase prizes!
