1 month to go! Make the most of it with Bond Online
With just one month to go until the majority of 11+ exams are sat, we know that it can feel like every second counts when it comes to preparing your child.
So how do you avoid getting caught up in the 11+ bubble and resist last-minute cramming, whilst still feeling that your child is getting the best possible chance to pass in September?
Alongside your existing revision schedule, using Bond Online with your child from now until the exam will help you make the most of your remaining preparation time in a productive, stress-free way.
Over the next month, make sure you use Bond Online to:
- Make the most of your time: Bond Online has thousands of self-marking questions and gives immediate feedback when your child gets a question wrong, making it perfect for children to use on their own to prepare for the 11+. By letting your child practice on their own, this frees up your time to concentrate on the more difficult aspects of the 11+; helping your child with the topics they’re really struggling with or doing more timed exam practice with them.
- Focus your revision: use the progress reports in Bond Online to focus your child’s revision, so that you only revise the topics they still need help with.
- Get ready for the CEM 11+ exam: if your child will be sitting the CEM 11+ exam in September, use Bond Online to help them get used to the mixed style of the CEM exam paper. Remember, the CEM exam features a paper that combines English and verbal reasoning questions and another combining maths and non-verbal reasoning – Bond Online has a separate bank of CEM questions, giving your child a realistic CEM 11+ experience when they practise at home.
- Keep your child motivated: for many children, this last month marks the culmination of many months of preparation and it’s important to maintain your child’s interest in the 11+ exam. Encouraging your child to use Bond Online during this last month will help vary your child’s revision and keep them engaged. The online format will give them a break from paper-based preparation and many children love the challenge of trying to beat their previous score on a topic.
