Frequently Asked Questions About 11+ Mock Exams
Everything parents need to know about 11+ mock exam preparation
An 11+ mock exam is a full-length practice test that simulates the real grammar school entrance exam. It covers the same subjects (Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning) and is completed under timed conditions. Mock exams help students build confidence, improve time management, and identify areas that need more practice before the actual exam day.
Our mock exams are competitively priced and each exam listing shows its price clearly before you register. Create an account to browse available exams and register your child. Every exam includes full timed sections, instant marking, and a comprehensive performance report with topic-level analysis and ranking.
After registering, your child logs in and starts the exam at a time that suits them. The exam has timed sections with countdown timers, audio alerts at half-time and one minute remaining, and structured breaks between papers - just like the real exam. Once completed, results are available instantly with a comprehensive performance report showing scores by subject, topic-level analysis, ranking against other students, and areas for improvement.
Every mock exam attempt generates a detailed performance report including: overall score and percentage, ranking against all students who took the same exam, paper-by-paper breakdown, subject performance (Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning), topic-level analysis showing strengths and weaknesses, individual question review with correct answers and explanations, and personalised recommendations for improvement.
This depends on the specific mock exam settings. Some exams allow multiple attempts so your child can track their improvement over time, while others are limited to a single attempt to simulate real exam conditions. The number of allowed attempts is shown on each exam listing.
A typical 11+ mock exam takes between 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the format. This includes multiple papers with timed sections and breaks between papers. For example, a GL-style exam might have 2 papers of approximately 50 minutes each with a break in between. The exact duration is shown for each exam before you register.
Yes, our mock exams are taken online from the comfort of home. Your child logs in, starts the exam, and completes it under timed conditions with countdown timers and audio alerts. Results and a full performance report are available immediately after completion.
Most families start mock exams in Year 5 (age 9-10), typically from spring onwards. We recommend taking at least 3-4 mock exams before the real exam. Start with one to establish a baseline, then use subsequent mocks to track improvement and build exam stamina. The final mock should ideally be 2-4 weeks before the actual exam to peak confidence without causing burnout.
Unlike standalone practice papers, our mock exams provide a complete exam simulation with timed sections, structured breaks, and audio alerts. After completion, you receive a comprehensive performance report with ranking, subject analysis, topic-level insights, and question-by-question review with explanations. This gives you actionable data to focus revision on the areas that matter most.
Yes. Mock exams are one of the most effective ways to prepare for the 11+. They familiarise your child with the exam format, build stamina for sitting a long test, and highlight specific topics that need more revision. Children who practise under timed exam conditions are better prepared for the pressure of the real day. The detailed performance report also helps parents plan a targeted revision schedule in the weeks leading up to the exam.
We recommend a minimum of 3 to 4 mock exams spread across the preparation period. Start with one mock early in Year 5 to establish a baseline, then take another 2 to 3 in the months leading up to the exam. This allows enough time between each mock to work on weak areas identified in the performance report. Taking too many mocks in a short period can lead to fatigue, so spacing them out is important.
Scores vary depending on the exam format and difficulty. As a general guide, scoring above 80% suggests strong preparation, 60% to 80% indicates good progress with room for improvement, and below 60% highlights areas that need focused revision. The most useful metric is progress over time rather than any single score. Our performance reports include percentile rankings so you can see how your child compares to other students taking the same exam.
Our 11+ mock exams cover the four core subjects tested in grammar school entrance exams: Mathematics, English (including comprehension, grammar, and spelling), Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Each exam paper includes sections for these subjects, and the performance report provides a detailed breakdown of results by subject and individual topic within each subject.
What to Expect on 11+ Mock Exam Day
On the day of an 11+ mock exam, your child will sit a full-length test that mirrors the format and timing of the real grammar school entrance exam. The exam typically consists of two papers, each lasting around 45 to 55 minutes, with a short break in between. Each paper contains sections covering Mathematics, English Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
Our online mock exams include countdown timers for each section, audio alerts at the halfway point and with one minute remaining, and automatic progression between sections. This replicates the time pressure students experience in the real exam. Parents should ensure their child has a quiet space, a reliable internet connection, and scrap paper for working out calculations.
Once the exam is complete, results are available immediately. The performance report includes an overall score, percentile ranking against other students, and a detailed breakdown by subject and topic. This information helps families identify specific areas for targeted revision.
GL Assessment vs CEM 11+ Mock Exams: Key Differences
The two most common 11+ exam formats in England are set by GL Assessment and CEM (Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring at Durham University). Understanding the differences between them is important for effective mock exam preparation.
GL Assessment exams test English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning as separate sections with distinct time limits. The question formats are standardised and predictable, which means focused practice on GL-style questions can significantly improve performance. GL exams are used in regions including Kent, parts of London, Buckinghamshire (some areas), and several other counties across England.
CEM exams (Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring, Durham University) also test the same four subjects but combine them differently within papers. CEM was known for a faster pace, with more questions in less time, and content that varied from year to year. CEM exams were historically used in regions including Birmingham, Buckinghamshire (some areas), and parts of Gloucestershire. Note: CEM announced in 2023 that it would stop producing 11+ papers. Some regions have since adopted new exam arrangements, so parents should verify the current format with their target school.
| Feature | GL Assessment | CEM |
|---|---|---|
| Subjects Tested | English, Maths, VR, NVR (separate sections) | English, Maths, VR, NVR (combined in papers) |
| Question Format | Standardised, predictable format | Varies year to year |
| Pace | Moderate — clear time per section | Faster — more questions in less time |
| Familiarisation Materials | GL publishes official familiarisation booklets | CEM did not release past papers or practice materials |
| Regions (Historical) | Kent, parts of London, Bucks (some) | Birmingham, Bucks (some), Gloucestershire (CEM withdrew from 11+ in 2023) |
Our mock exams are designed to cover the question types and formats used by both GL and CEM boards, so your child is prepared regardless of which exam format their target school uses. Check your local grammar school's website to confirm which exam board they use.
How to Prepare for Your First 11+ Mock Exam
Before sitting a mock exam, it helps to ensure your child has covered the core Year 5 curriculum in Maths and English. Familiarity with Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning question types is also beneficial, as these are not typically taught in school. Our interactive 11+ lessons and practice tests are a good starting point.
On the day, make sure your child is well rested and has eaten. Set up a quiet workspace free from distractions. Let them know that the mock is a practice run — the purpose is to learn, not to achieve a perfect score. After the exam, review the performance report together and create a simple plan to work on any weak areas before the next mock.
It is normal for scores to be lower on a first mock exam. Children improve significantly with each subsequent attempt as they become more comfortable with the format, timing, and question types.
When to Start Taking 11+ Mock Exams
The 11+ exam is typically sat in September of Year 6 (age 10-11). Most families begin mock exam practice in the spring or summer of Year 5. This allows time to take several mocks spaced across the preparation period, with revision in between each one.
A recommended schedule is: one mock in spring of Year 5 to set a baseline, one or two over the summer holidays for focused practice, and a final mock in August or early September before the real exam. This approach builds exam stamina gradually without causing burnout.
If your child is starting later in Year 5 or early Year 6, even one or two mocks can make a meaningful difference. The key is to use the performance report to guide revision and to practise under timed conditions at least once before the real exam.
