You need to try it and see the difference in your child's 11+ tests!!! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

They ran out of time again. Here's what that's actually telling you.

Your child sits down. The paper starts. Forty minutes later – time's up – and questions 20 to 25 are either rushed or blank.

You ask them why. They say "I didn't have time." 🤷‍♀️🤷

But here's what most parents miss: running out of time is not a time problem. It's a topic problem.

When a child slows down mid-paper, it's because they've hit something they're not confident in. They re-read the question. They second-guess. They freeze for thirty seconds. Those seconds add up.

The question they're stuck on is the clue. 🙆‍♀️

Here's one simple thing you can do this week:

Sit across your child during a practice paper. Don't help. Just watch.

Notice where they slow down. Where they go back and re-read. Where the pen stops moving.

Write that topic down.

Do it across three papers. You'll almost always see the same topic come up again and again.

That topic? That's where you go back to basics. Not more papers but basics of that topic. The core concept, explained simply, until it clicks. Then good, focused work on that topic followed by a topic test.

Speed follows confidence. Always.🚅 😎

If you're not sure how to identify those gaps or what to do once you find them, I have a tool on my website that could help.
