«Breaking News» Could YOU pass the 11 Plus?

A tricky quiz based on 11 Plus taken by 11-12-year-old pupils has baffled parents, with not one of the 2,000 adults tested scoring full marks.

The questions supplied by tuition provider Explore Learning saw parents score an average of just 3.5 out of 10 correct questions, with 77 per cent unable to answer what a triangular number was.

Even the top-scoring parents only managed to get half of the answers correct in the test, which challenged users on their grammar, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and mathematical reasoning to give them a taster of what primary school children undertake in the 11 Plus. 

Shapes were a clear sticking point, as only a third (38%) could find the volume of a prism.

Two thirds of parents also found prepositions puzzling as only one in three (34%) were able to correctly identify the correct part of an example sentence. 

But parents did fare better with verbal reasoning, with almost all (95%) identifying the following correctly the missing part of the sentence.

So how will you do? Scroll to the bottom for answers but don't cheat...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
