Learn How to Ace the 11+ with Our Mock Exams!

What does each exam session include?

Each mock exam session (e.g. exam A) simulates the real 11+ experience as closely as possible, with the same level of difficulty, number of papers, length of papers, and timings. For instance, if your child takes the Buckinghamshire Exam A, they will sit two papers with a short break in between, just like the actual exam.

How many mock exams can my child sit?

Your child can sit multiple mock exams, choosing different papers for the exam types they are preparing for. We offer 7 Buckinghamshire exams (A to G), 5 Slough, 5 Kendrick, 2 South West Herts and 3 Reading School papers.

Within each exam type, papers with different letters do not repeat questions. As one paper cannot cover every question type, attending additional sessions gives your child a broader range of practice.

Slough and Kendrick exams with the same letter are different papers but share some questions. These cannot be selected together in the same booking. To avoid repeating questions, we recommend choosing different letters even when booking separately, for example, Slough A and Kendrick B.

Do the exams need to be sat in order?

In most (but not all) cases, our exam season begins with paper A and ends with paper G. However, papers can be sat in any order. They are designed to reflect the real 11+ exam as closely as possible and therefore the difficulty level of each exam is the same.

Your child’s 11+ mock exam papers and completed answer sheets will not be released. Questions answered correctly are not included in the feedback or available separately on request. Keeping the complete papers confidential helps prevent questions being shared with children who have yet to sit the exam. This protects the fairness of the tests and makes comparisons between students’ results and rankings more meaningful. It also protects our original exam content.

We welcome bookings for all children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, as our 11+ mock exams are held in a single room, we are unfortunately unable to provide exam access arrangements such as additional time, rest breaks, or a separate room. These adjustments are available in many school settings but cannot be accommodated within our venue and exam format.

If your child normally receives additional time or other access arrangements in school, they are still very welcome to sit our mock exam. Please bear in mind that their score may not reflect the mark they could achieve under their usual exam conditions. As we do not have sufficient comparative data, we are unable to estimate how much difference additional time or other access arrangements might make to an individual child’s result.

Yes. If your child attends any Marie Redmond Tuition 5-day Summer Course, an 11+ mock test is included at the end of their course. This is included in the course fees and does not need to be booked separately; however, you can supplement this with a number of additional mock exams below.

Please check our summer course page to discover which test papers are already included in our summer courses. For example, if your child attends week 1 of our summer course and is preparing for the Buckinghamshire test, they will sit GL Assessment-style mock test paper E on the final day of the course. If you book any of our Year 5 summer courses, we will contact you to let you know which additional exams are suitable for you to book.

We welcome payment by Tax-Free Childcare, Childcare Vouchers or the Childcare Grant Payment Service. Simply select this payment option when booking and we’ll hold your child’s mock exams for 7 days. If your payment is received within 7 days, your booking will be finalised and we will notify you by email.
