Mock papers set out like the test your child will actually sit
11+ tests are different in every area. Kent uses an answer sheet and a writing task, Essex wants written answers, Lincolnshire tests reasoning only. Our papers follow each area’s published format, so the layout on test day feels familiar.
For children in Year 5 (P6 in Northern Ireland) who will sit the 11+ or transfer test in autumn 2027, with practice books from Year 4. Every question is written by us.
Which test will your child sit?
Choose your area to see how its test works and which papers match it. We last checked these details in November 2026, and we check again when schools publish 2028-entry information. Always confirm dates on the school’s admissions page.
What you get in a pack
- Four complete mock tests in your area’s format: the same subjects, the same order and the same way of answering.
- A printable answer sheet where the real test uses one, marked the same way (a line through a box, a shaded oval or written digits).
- Answers with a short explanation for every question. Written papers come with a mark scheme.
- A parent guide with timings, a four-week plan and a score tracker.
PDF to print at home. Paperback versions are coming to Amazon.
We tell you what we know
Councils and schools publish some details, such as timings, but rarely the number of questions. Our papers say where each detail comes from:
- Published
- Stated by the council, school or test provider.
- Reported
- From other sources we could not confirm.
- Our assumption
- Not published, so we chose a sensible figure and say so on the paper.
Try a full Kent mock test, free
Print the paper and the answer sheet, time each section, then mark it with the answers. It takes about two and a half hours, so most families split it over a weekend.
Set out like the Kent Test as Kent County Council describes it. Question counts and reasoning timings are not published, so the paper labels ours as assumptions.
Every other pack, handbook and practice book has a free sample too. You will find it next to each one in the shop.

Questions parents ask
Are these the real exam papers?
No. Real 11+ papers are not usually published, and we do not copy test providers’ samples or other publishers’ papers. Every question is written by us, to the same types and level as the area’s published format.
Will this get my child a place?
No paper can promise that. Places depend on your child’s score compared with other children, the school’s rules and often distance. Practice helps a child know the format and manage their time, so they can show what they know.
Which year group is this for?
Children in Year 5 now, who will sit the 11+ in autumn 2027 for a place in September 2028. In Northern Ireland that is P6 now, with the transfer test in November 2027 (P7). Gloucestershire tests earlier, in the summer term of Year 5, so check your dates first. Our 10-minute practice books also suit younger children, from Year 4 (ages 8 to 9).
Why do some papers say “our assumption”?
Councils and providers usually publish timings but not how many questions there are. Where a detail is not published, we choose a sensible figure and say so, and we update the pack if the real number is published.
Which areas do you cover?
Kent, Buckinghamshire, Birmingham and the West Midlands, Essex and Southend, Gloucestershire, Trafford, Bexley, Slough, Wirral, Bournemouth and Poole, Lincolnshire, Redbridge, Warwickshire, Medway, Sutton, Plymouth, Torbay and Devon, Reading and the other FSCE schools, Tiffin, Henrietta Barnett, St Olave’s and Latymer, grammar schools that set their own test, Northern Ireland (SEAG), the London 11+ Consortium, independent schools and online pre-tests. Use the finder above to check yours.
Should I buy the pack or the handbook?
The pack is for practising full tests under timed conditions. The handbook teaches the methods behind each question type, with short practice sets. Many families use the handbook first and the pack in the last few weeks.
