Simple Subtraction carry. Remember the rules to “borrow” from the next column if needed. So you can’t do 5 minus 7 in the units. You have to borrow 1 (meaning 10) from the tens column in 9,135 revising the equation to 15 minus 7

Bus stop method. A great tip is to ensure the answer you get is a whole number. In MOST 11+ questions, the answer will be a whole integer. So if you get for example 916.5 as your answer, go back and check as there could be a small error

Use the approach of 5/8 * 48/1

Then cross cancellation etc and simplify this to 5/1 * 6/1

Cross cancellation is essential as it makes the calculation far easier overall and reduces error rates

With sequences, the approach is always to look at the sequence of the numbers that are already there. And then work from there. The clue lies in looking at the sequence change and not the underlying numbers. So if you see 0.2,0.2 difference between 20 & 20.2 and then 20.2 and 20.4, it tells you alot about what the answer should be

She always tells the truth and the answer has to fulfill each statement. Given that its a multiple of 29 and is <100, its logical to start with going through multiples of 29. So 29,58,87

b) 60

She never tells the truth. So:

The number is less than 100. It is a multiple of 10. It does divide by 3 exactly and it has NO remainder when divided by 4.

Think of multiples of 10 and those multiples that divide exactly by 3 and are less than 100. These are 30,60 & 90. Of these the only number that is a multiple of 4 leaving no remainder is 60

So 14 mins 30 seconds / 3

One approach is to convert to seconds and then back to minutes. So (14*60)+30 = 840+30 = 870

a) £2.60

Questions which mention something is “twice as much as something else” or a multiple of something else, requires a few possible approaches. One is to use ratios. So Cake:Drink is 2:1

There are 3 parts altogether. So £3.90/3  = £1.30 per part

Cake is 2 parts so cost is £2.60

b) £1.45

Tea + Fizzy drink = £2.60

Fizzy drink 30p more. So £2.60/2 = £1.30 if it was an equal price. To get a 30p difference, you add 15p to one and take 15p to the other. So Fizzy drink will cost £1.45 and revised cost for Tea will be £1.15

c) 91p

A+B = 57p

B+P = 56p

A+P = 69p

Therefore, there are 2 apples, 2 bananas and 2 pairs. If you add all of the above together and x2, you get £1.82

Divide by 2 gives 91p

Lets count the number of triangles where side of the pentagon is one of the side of the triangle, for each one such side there are 6 triangles. but two of triangle has other side of the pentagon, those will be counted twice so we will count only one triangle for each side, so for five sides, total 5*5 = 25 such triangles.

Now, lets count the triangles where side of the pentagon is not the side of the triangle: there are 5+5 = 10 such triangles

He has 20 bars which means he gets 6 free bars. So 20/3 = 18 Remainder 2

He then has 6 free bar wrappers + 2 reminder = 8 bars

He then uses these 8 wrappers to get 2 free bars and this also leaves a remainder of 2

Then he uses the 2 remainder + 2 new wrappers he gets from the 2 free bars to get 1 more bar

So total is 20 + 6+ 2 + 1
