Description
What’s inside
- 13 reasoning papers, 36 multiple-choice questions each (A–E), 30 minutes
- Verbal reasoning in four sections: words and meanings · spelling and sentences · codes and letter patterns · numbers and logic – with vocabulary that grows harder level by level
- Non-verbal reasoning in short sections, each with a worked example: odd one out, find the figure that belongs, finish the change, series, the missing square, shape codes, rotation, fold the net, looking down from above, folding shapes, fold and punch, and spot the hidden shape
- Figures that change two or three things at once – just like the real tests
- Separate verbal and non-verbal scores, so you can see where to focus
Why short papers?
Full 11+ papers can take an hour or more, and tired children stop trying. Our papers are about half the length of a typical 11+ paper but keep the real pace, so practice fits into a busy week and actually gets done.
An answer guide for every paper
- Page 1 is a quick guide: the answer key, the scores by section and what the score means – everything you need to mark the paper in a few minutes
- Then every question explained, step by step
- “If you chose…” – a note on every wrong option, explaining the mistake that usually leads to it
- A “next time” tip for every question
Four levels, from warm-up to elite
- Papers 2–3: warm-up
- Papers 4–8: standard – the level of a typical 11+ test
- Papers 9–11: stretch – harder than a typical test
- Papers 12–14: elite – for the most selective grammar and independent schools
Every paper is split into the same short sections, and the questions get harder within each section – so a child who gets stuck can move on to an easier question. Paper 1 is free to download from our practice papers page, so you can try the format first.
Progress tracker included
A printable PDF tracker and an Excel version. Copy the section scores from each answer sheet and the tracker shows progress paper by paper, compares it with a suggested aim for each level and – in the Excel version – picks out the section to practise next.
