We are a few years off as my DS is only in yr 3 but I am starting to explore what might be the best way to support him to do the 11+ for tiffin.
He has older siblings who didn’t go down the 11+ route as really would not have been right for them and they are both at local state comps and very happy. My youngest however is very different, very academically strong and very competitive, also musically gifted and I see that tiffin have added a music aptitude test which I understand is new. His weak spot is most likely to be creative writing.
I am currently doing BONDS papers with him for yr 3, but this is really due to him not currently being very stretched at school. I will add he loves doing them! But beyond this I have seen Atom learning that uses an algorithm, is this worth paying for or would you suggest tutoring or both? Has anyone just used BONDS? Or BONDS online, we are only using the books.
I am happy with what we are doing currently but looking ahead I feel we will need to focus more on tiffin entrance. We are not applying for another grammars as I don’t want a crazy commute for him.
