    About this ebook

    The 11 plus could be described as one of THE most significant points in a child's academic life. It's the first time in their lives where they are tested and then ranked in order of academic ability.

    Whilst the 11+ is an entry exam it is also very good grammar school preparation. Not necessarily for the subjects involved, but more specifically for the work ethic they'll need to show in order to do well in the test.

    But with school fees increasing and a lack of supply, demand for places is higher than ever before.

    This shortfall of places means that only the best will get a place in the grammar school of their choice. But this doesn't necessarily mean the most intelligent will succeed, instead it's the most prepared that win the prize.

    These days even a child genius could lose out to children who have been prepared better for the test. If you want your child to pass the 11+ entrance exam and gain a place at grammar school then YOU need to be prepared too.

    '11 Plus Secrets: How to Get Your Child In To Grammar School - A Step By Step Guide' is the ONLY resource you'll need.

    It's a complete step by step guide through the whole journey from deciding that grammar school is right for your child to studying for and passing the 11 plus entry exam and gaining a place.

    Packed with loads of great information and top tips from a panel of some of the best tutors in the country, it's written by a parent and top health and fitness writer Jago Holmes who has been through the whole journey first hand and decided to put his experiences in to one handy guide for parents.

    You'll find tips and techniques to help you and your child make quick progress throughout the time you spend preparing for the 11 plus, whether you decide to employ the services of a tutor or take charge of home study yourselves.

    There's no 'fluff' or 'filler' in this book, you are getting pages of quality information and a range of resources all laid out in an easy to read format which you can come back to time and time again.

    You WILL experience a rocky ride, that's almost certain. But by following the advice in this book, you can sidestep the learning curve that ALL parents have to go through to get their child a place at their chosen grammar school.

    Very few parents will have access to the kind of insights and knowledge contained within the pages of this book.

    Jago Holmes

    Jago Holmes is an experienced and highly respected personal trainer and weight loss coach from the UK with over 12 years experience in the fitness industry. Based in Yorkshire, England, his personal training company has helped thousands of clients to lose weight, get healthier and improve their lives. He has produced a wide selection of fitness and sports specific training programs, ranging from Badminton fitness training, to weight loss walking plans, running schedules for beginners right through to post pregnancy fat loss plans. About Me I love my job, it's something I've done for the last 12 years without ever feeling bored or unfulfilled. The wonderful clients that we are lucky enough to work with help us to learn so much. Even though the results they achieve are almost life transforming to them, to us they are even more wonderful. Being able to help people live better, healthier, more confident and longer lives AND get paid for it is an amazingly priviledged position to be in. One of the other great things about being a personal trainer is the amount of free time I have. I use this time mainly to put in to writing, the knowledge and experience that I have gained from working with my clients. I am lucky to be able to test first hand any dietary or fitness related breakthroughs that burst on to the scene. In fact many of my programs feature this 'insider' knowledge. In all of my books I give you PROVEN techniques which have been tested and perfected on my own clients. We've made the mistakes so that you don't have to do. I try to write in a simple and easy to understand way because I understand how difficult it can be to grasp some concepts that many so called 'experts' weave in to complex mines of information to convince you that you need them to decipher it for you. Many aspects to the health and fitness industry ARE SIMPLE and don't need to over complicated. I love writing and sharing my lifelong library of tips and techniques with anyone who'll listen to them. I hope to build on the range of programs that I've already created so please come back often and see what else I've added, maybe some of it will help you to accomplish your own goals and ambitions.
