Eleven plus

The Eleven Plus was an examination given to students in their last year of primary education in the United Kingdom under the Tripartite System. It is still used in a number of counties, and in Northern Ireland. The test examines the student's ability to solve problems using verbal and non-verbal reasoning. Contrary to its designers? intentions, the exam came to be seen as determining whether a student went to a grammar school or to a secondary modern.
