From the Back Cover
Perhaps the most controversial exam in the history of UK education, the daunting Eleven-Plus was introduced in the 1940s to govern secondary school admission.
Using real examination papers from the 1940s and 50s, you can now discover how you measure up to the grammar school hopefuls of the past, on everything from English and arithmetic, to comprehension and general knowledge. Who will come out top in your family?
‘These old exam questions will prove if we’ve dumbed down’ - Daily Telegraph
