A fair number of people are scoring quite highly on the tests but one thing we noticed was a big difference in speed. Luckily there are enough free tests on our site for you to sharpen up your skills and hopefully become lightning fast.

I think I might update the test results page to include the min, max and average times taken for each test. This should give you an idea of how well you compare against all the others taking the test. In tests with time limits, we have tried to allow the same time you would get in the actual 11 plus tests. This isn't an easy task because some question types take longer than others.As more people take the tests, we will be able to provide you with better statistics showing you how fast each one of the tests should be completed in order to be in the top 5% of students.

The arithmetic booster course showed the widest variation in times. To give you an example of the time variations:

For addition test 1.1 (which contains very easy addition questions), of students who scored full marks, the time taken ranged from 20 minutes to just over 3 minutes. Perhaps whoever took 20 minutes was eating their cereal whilst taking the test. That we will never know. The exciting thing is that the more people who take the tests, the better the stats will be. So, get everyone one you know to take these tests. If you are a parent, see if you can beat your child (hmm - maybe I should have rephrased that!). We would appreciate if you could fill in your date of birth in your profile. That will enable us to separate the adults from the children.

As we learn more I will update this section.
