What went right more like

Other than not knowing the meanings of those "units", that's the math I was doing when I was 9.

From your I'm assuming that nowadays math tests don't look like this, that is definitely a thing that went right

this.
grouping those which are alike is an improved way to educate each segment.

I know its called "arithmetic", but could they design questions that require less mathematical reasoning to solve?
Also, aren't 11+ exams custom made by each school?

"When your former secretary honoured me by asking me to read a paper to your society, my first thought was that I would certainly do it and my second thought was that if I was to have the opportunity to speak to you I should speak about something which I am keen on communicating to you and that I should not misuse this opportunity to give you a lecture about, say, logic. I call this a misuse, for to explain a scientific matter to you it would need a course of lectures and not an hour's paper. Another alternative would have been to give you what's called a popular scientific lecture, that is a lecture intended to make you believe that you understand a thing which actually you don't understand, and to gratify what I believe to be one of the lowest desires of modern people, namely the superficial curiosity about the latest discoveries of science." - Wittgenstein, A lecture on ethics
