Happy New Year from KSOL!
As we embrace 2025, it’s the perfect time to focus on new beginnings and set meaningful goals. To support your child through the 11+ process this year, our KSOL team has crafted some New Year’s resolutions to help them excel and feel confident for the upcoming September exams.
1. Connect with a KSOL Tutor for Regular Feedback
Consistency is the foundation of success. Encourage your child to engage in daily, focused study sessions of 20-30 minutes. When you enrol onto one of our KSOL online programmes, your child will benefit from personalised daily tests that take up to 25 minutes, keeping them motivated and engaged. Plus, your child will be assigned a dedicated, qualified tutor to oversee their progress and guide them through their 11+ journey.
2. Establish a Study Routine
Setting specific study times helps build a strong routine. Whether it’s before or after school, having a structured plan ensures steady progress.
3. Make Learning Part of Everyday Life
Learning doesn’t have to stop at the desk! Use everyday situations to practise essential 11+ skills. For instance, involve your child in planning family trips by calculating timings, costs, and discounts. Discuss interesting observations about your surroundings to help naturally expand their vocabulary.
4. Boost Vocabulary Weekly
A wide variety of strong vocabulary is a key asset for comprehension and verbal reasoning tasks. Make it a goal to learn new words every week.
5. Sign Up for a Mock Exam
KSOL mock exams are an excellent way to familiarise your child with the format and types of questions they’ll encounter in the 11+ exam. These realistic practice sessions not only help build confidence but also reduce exam-day nerves by creating a comfortable and familiar environment.
6. Prioritise Balance
A well-balanced routine is crucial. Ensure your child has time for study, relaxation and play. This balance helps them stay productive, motivated and avoids the risk of burnout.
Starting the new year is an exciting milestone, and with the 11+ exams approaching in September, there’s no better time to set goals and get ahead. KSOL’s Year 5 online courses start from just £10 this January, making quality preparation with a trusted tuition provider more accessible than ever!
