Questions

Are these real 11+ papers?

No. Most tests never release their papers; CSSE in Essex is the exception. Ours are original questions in the same format, each checked by a second reviewer and solved blind. The official free papers for each test are linked on this page.

Which paper should we start with?

The subjects your child's test sets. Most tests set maths and English. Kent, Bucks, Medway and Birmingham also set verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

How long does each paper take?

18 to 24 minutes, in two timed sections. Paper and a pencil help; no calculator.

Do we need an account?

No. The report shows the moment the paper ends. A free account is optional: it saves the report and works through every answer.

Is there a full 11+ mock exam?

Yes: the free 30-minute 11+ mock test mixes maths, verbal reasoning and English. Each test's own course has full-length mocks.
