The Best Way To Solve TIME Problems in the 11+

Dylan is back again with his favourite strategy for solving time problems. It works every time!

Do you have a preferred method for solving these sorts of questions?

Over on our website, we have created the biggest and best series of 11+ lesson videos you could imagine.

We've released an English lesson, a maths lesson, a verbal reasoning lesson, and a non-verbal/spatial lesson, as well as a homework task to practise what we covered, for every single week of the year! Each homework task also comes with a video walkthrough, where Dylan or Hayden talk through exactly how to answer each question!

We also run weekly online Zoom sessions, ran by our amazing tutoring team. Find out more about them here and get in touch if you're interested!

hi thanks for this video. Can you please do a part 2 doing time word problems with several steps like Dylan was going on holiday to new york. He leaves at 7:34. To get to the airport it takes 2h and 10 min. to check in it takes 1h. There is a 3h delay and it takes 7h and 30 mins to get to new york. it takes 20 mins to get to the hotel and 15 mins to check in. what time will he get to his room?

[channelangelle]
