The benefits of improving problem-solving skills

To excel in their 11+ and 13+ exams, students need a robust understanding of problem-solving, critical thinking and reasoning skills. 11+ and 13+ exams test students’ ability to analyse information, think critically and swiftly and accurately respond to problems – all within the often overwhelming exam environment.

Our puzzles and problem solving course is designed to encourage these crucial skills by providing students with the tools and strategies they need to tackle exam questions confidently and effectively. Through engaging puzzles and practical exercises, students develop their problem-solving abilities, build confidence, and are empowered to reach their full potential.

The time and stress management tips shared throughout the course provide students with practical strategies to navigate the demands of their entire academic journey.
