All Four Core 11+ Subjects
Most providers only cover Maths and English. We include Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning too — the subjects that catch the most children out.
Mathematics
All boardsArithmetic, algebra, geometry, data handling, and multi-step problem solving at the level expected by selective schools.
Word problems are where most marks are lost — practise reading questions twice before starting.
English
All boardsReading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, and creative writing to the standard required by top grammar and independent schools.
Comprehension is the biggest single section on most English papers — daily reading habits make the biggest difference.
Verbal Reasoning
GL Assessment · CEMThe thinking-with-words skill tested in almost every 11+ exam. Covers 21 standard question types from synonyms and analogies to letter-number codes.
Most children have never seen VR before Year 5 — regular exposure is the fix, not innate ability.
Non-Verbal Reasoning
GL Assessment · CEMShapes, patterns, and spatial reasoning — the most learnable of all 11+ skills once children understand the question types.
Tackle one NVR question type per week rather than mixed practice until the type is confident.
Which Exam Board Does Your Region Use?
Our papers are designed to match the format, timing, and question style of all three major 11+ exam boards.
GL Assessment
Format
Separate papers per subject, mostly paper-based
Subjects tested
GL tests are highly predictable in format — consistent practice with past-style papers is the most direct path to a high score.
CEM (Durham University)
Format
Mixed-topic sections, computer or paper, timed per section
Subjects tested
CEM deliberately mixes question types within each section to make over-preparation harder. Breadth and speed are key.
ISEB (Independent Schools)
Format
Paper-based, high academic standard, longer papers
Subjects tested
ISEB papers are longer and harder than state grammar equivalents. Begin preparation earlier and focus on deep comprehension rather than speed alone.

What Makes Our Papers Different
True exam timing
Every paper runs under the exact same time limit as the real test so your child builds genuine exam pace — not just accuracy.
Instant, worked explanations
Not just 'the answer is C' — every question has a full step-by-step explanation so your child learns from each mistake immediately.
Detailed score reports
After each paper, see a breakdown by topic — not just a total score. Instantly know which areas need the most work.
Progress over time
Track improvement week by week with trend graphs. Seeing the line go up is one of the best motivators for children.
Written by educators
Every question is written and reviewed by experienced 11+ tutors — not auto-generated. Quality over quantity.
Works for all ability levels
Papers are graded from foundational to highly selective-standard, so you can pitch practice at exactly the right level.
A Preparation Timeline That Actually Works
Most families either start too late or push too hard early. Here's what a balanced plan looks like.
- Identify your child's target schools and which exam board they use
- Begin light VR and NVR exposure — 20 mins, 3× per week
- Work on any English or Maths gaps with topic-specific practice
- Introduce full timed papers once every two weeks
- Review every wrong answer — understand the why, not just the correct answer
- Increase pace: aim for 30–45 minutes of focused practice 4× per week
- Full mock exams under strict exam conditions weekly
- Focus only on proven weak areas — don't try to learn new content
- Practise exam-day routines: sleep, breakfast, arrival time
- No new papers — just light revision of known topics
- Reassure your child: confidence matters as much as knowledge
- Get equipment ready, know the route, plan a nice breakfast
