Excel's Flagship 11 Plus Programme

The Excel Approach

We believe in a structured learning approach, which is why our program includes targeted preparation in verbal and non-verbal reasoning, critical components of the 11+ exams.

Verbal rationale focuses on the ability to understand and manipulate language through tasks such as analogies, synonyms, and comprehension. Non-verbal reasoning emphasises understanding shapes and patterns, including sequences and spatial relationships.
