Free 11+ Past Papers

What are the 11+ Examinations?

The 11+ examinations are examinations that your child may take in year 6 for entry into an independent secondary school or selective grammar school.

Grammar schools do not release past papers and you can find out more information about them here.

Many of the Independent Secondary Schools release 11+ past papers or specimen papers, which we have included many links for below. You can find out more specific information about the 11+ examinations for independent secondary schools here.

What is tested?

The admissions process varies from school to school, however usually the tests will involve English and mathematics. Some schools also include a reasoning test too, which can include both verbal and non-verbal reasoning. They can be written or computer-based tests. As with other entrance stages, schools often ask for a report from the child’s current school and those that pass the examination, will often be asked back for an interview.

11+ Past Papers

Some schools publish their past papers which are freely available to download. We have provided links to some of these past papers below. Please note that schools do change their examination format, so ensure you check the school’s website for the latest guidelines.
