Product Description
Is the nation really dumbing down? Are exams easier than they were in the good old days? Now's the chance to find out whether age really does equal wisdom with "The Eleven-Plus Book".

Every generation can attempt questions on a number of subjects from English and arithmetic to general knowledge and composition. Who will come out top in your family? Gorgeously packaged with a retro design, "The Eleven-Plus Book" is a fantastic nostalgic look back for all those who experienced the daunting exam the first time round, and a great way for the younger generation to prove that they have the wits to outsmart their elders!You can try out your literacy skills on this question, and write an essay on one of the following subjects: Description of 'The Bravest Deed that I know'; Camping; A School jaunt with one of the teachers; 'Gardening' or 'Sewing'; and Eggs.

The Eleven-Plus Book by Stephen Martin,

This review is from: The Eleven-Plus Book: Genuine Exam Questions from Yesteryear (Gift) (Hardcover)
I tutor children for the 11+ exams (Grammar & independent schools). Found this book really helpful. Surprisingly the children did enjoy solving the problems - thought it was quite challenging. I'd recommend this anytime, anyday.

If you like quizzes and puzzles and keeping your brain alive (I am a pensioner and need to!) this is fun and taxing. Did I really learn all this?

Not as smart as I thought!,
By Alison Rose "AP" (Swindon Wilts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eleven-Plus Book: Genuine Exam Questions from Yesteryear (Gift) (Hardcover)
Saw this recently in The Daily Mail - and did the quiz they printed - was shocked at how hard it was.
This is a great book and its fun to just pick out random questions and see how much you have forgotten or infact did not even know! Am going to show this to my very bright goddaughter who is 13 - be fun to see how she copes with it. Enjoy.
