11+ Mock Exam Papers
Online practice tests and full mock exams with instant marking, detailed performance reports, and percentile rankings for 2026 grammar school entry.
What Are 11+ Mock Exam Papers?
11+ mock exam papers are practice materials designed to help children prepare for the grammar school entrance exam. They come in different formats, each serving a distinct purpose in a well-rounded preparation plan.
Topic-Specific Practice Papers
Short tests focusing on a single subject or question type, such as Maths problem solving, English comprehension, or Verbal Reasoning codes. These help children build confidence in individual areas before combining them under exam conditions.
Subject Practice Tests
Longer tests covering a full subject with a mix of question types and difficulty levels. Timed subject tests help children learn to manage their time within a single paper and identify weaker topics within each subject.
Full-Length Mock Exams
Complete exam simulations that mirror the real 11+ test day. These include multiple papers, timed sections, structured breaks, and cover all subjects tested by the relevant exam board. Mock exams are the closest experience to the actual exam.
Online Mock Exams vs Paper-Based Practice
Traditional paper-based practice has its place, but online mock exams provide significant advantages that help children prepare more effectively and give parents actionable insights into their child's progress.

Covers 21 question types including codes, analogies, word meanings, letter sequences, and logical deduction. Verbal Reasoning tests the ability to think through and solve problems expressed in words and letters.
Involves pattern recognition, spatial awareness, sequences, matrices, and figure analysis. Non-Verbal Reasoning assesses problem-solving ability using shapes and diagrams rather than words or numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about 11+ mock exam papers, practice tests, and how to use them effectively.
Practice papers are typically short, topic-focused tests covering a single subject or question type. They are useful for building familiarity with specific areas such as Verbal Reasoning codes or Maths fractions. Mock exams, by contrast, are full-length tests that simulate the real 11+ exam experience with multiple papers, timed sections, structured breaks, and conditions that mirror exam day. Both are valuable at different stages of preparation.
Prep4All is an online platform, so our practice tests and mock exams are completed on screen rather than downloaded as printable PDFs. This allows us to provide instant marking, detailed performance reports, topic-level analysis, and ranking against other students features that are not possible with paper-based resources.
Online practice tests offer several advantages over paper-based papers. They provide instant marking so your child gets immediate feedback, detailed reports that highlight strengths and weaknesses by topic, and timed conditions with countdown timers that build exam stamina. Many grammar schools now also use computer-based testing, so practising online helps children become comfortable with digital exam formats.
There is no fixed number, but consistent practice over several months is more effective than cramming. We recommend starting with subject-specific practice tests to build skills across Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Once your child is comfortable with the question types, move on to full-length mock exams under timed conditions. Most families find that 2 to 3 practice sessions per week, combined with 3 to 4 full mock exams in the months before the test, provides strong preparation.
The 11+ exam typically covers four subjects: Mathematics, English (comprehension, grammar, spelling, and punctuation), Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The exact combination depends on the exam board your target school uses. GL Assessment and CEM are the two main boards, and some schools such as those in the CSSE consortium use their own format. Prep4All offers practice tests and mock exams covering all four subjects across these formats.
Most families begin structured 11+ preparation in Year 4 or early Year 5, roughly 12 to 18 months before the exam in September of Year 6. Starting with short practice tests helps build familiarity with question types without overwhelming your child. Full-length mock exams are best introduced from spring of Year 5 onwards, giving enough time to act on the results and improve weaker areas before exam day.
