Mastering the Consortium Exam Landscape

Channing assesses candidates using the bespoke London 11+ Consortium online test. Rather than demanding long-form creative essays, this 100-minute adaptive system dynamically adjusts difficulty based on your child's answers. The exam is strictly timed across distinct sections: a 20-minute Mathematics module rooted in the Year 5 curriculum; a 10-minute Non-Verbal Reasoning module tracking spatial patterns; a 20-minute English Reading Comprehension segment; and a 10-minute Verbal Reasoning module. Following a mandatory 30-minute break, the final sections cover Problem-Solving (15 minutes) and a Creative Comprehension exercise (25 minutes).
