2009 Chuckra 11+ Mock Test E - VR, NVR & Maths The first of the Chuckra 11+ Mock Test Days took place a fewdays ago. The results have been standardised and are making their wayback to anxious parents as I type. So how did the kids do? Actually,not very well! Apart from a couple of good performances, averages weresignificantly down from last year. I'll tell you why I think thishappened below but first a summary of the results... | | VR | NVR | MATHS | | | | | | Average Score
| 66% | 61% | 74% | Lowest Score
| 34% | 30% | 42% | Highest Score
| 95% | 80% | 94% | The NVR paper must have been a tricky one as the highest score wasonly 80%. Nobody got full marks on any of the papers but 95% and 94% onVR and Maths are very respectable results and show that the brighterstudents are capabale of scoring highly on those papers. Notice the average scores range from 66% to 74%. Last year theaverage result for VR was 88%. There is no need to panic yet though.The factors contributing to the low scores are... - First-timers.Some of the children were new to 11+ preparation. They were using themock tests to see how much work is needed in order for them to pass (Evidently, lots!
 ) - Nerves.This was the first of the mock test sessions. We found that last yearstudents' scores improved with each mock test session as they becamemore accustomed to the exam environment.
- Last year's mocks were later in the year meaning that the children had had more time to improve their speed and accuracy.
So for most of the people who took the tests I recommend more practice!There is still plenty of time so don't panic. Here are some goodresources to aid your preparation...
