About the 11 Plus

The 11 Plus is a selective entrance exam used by grammar schools across the UK to identify academically able children. The exam typically covers four areas:

  • Verbal Reasoning: synonyms, antonyms, analogies, missing words, and code-breaking
  • Non-Verbal Reasoning: pattern completion, shape rotation, and spatial reasoning
  • English: reading comprehension, spelling, punctuation, and grammar
  • Maths: arithmetic, number, fractions, percentages, and problem-solving

This checker is indicative only. It assesses foundational skills, not specific 11 Plus question types. For a full mock exam, work through past papers from GL Assessment or CEM, the two main 11 Plus test providers.

How 11 Plus tutoring works

An experienced 11 Plus tutor typically works with children from Year 4 onwards, building foundational skills in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English and Maths, then progressing to past papers and timed practice. Most children benefit from 1–2 sessions per week, starting 12–18 months before the exam.
