Why Our Mocks?

Our mock exams are the ideal preparation material for all Year 5 students aiming to sit a selective school exam in the coming year.

Eleven Plus Exams has over 20 years of experience providing resources for 11+ preparation. We have helped thousands of students succeed in their entrance exams to selective senior independent and state schools. Our mock exams are designed to provide you with the most authentic and comprehensive exam preparation experience.
We are a professional tuition company as well as the creators of the UK’s largest 11+ focussed website and online forum. We are also the publisher of the 11+ Essentials First Past the Post® series of books.

We have also been commissioned to write real entrance papers by particular independent schools and this process has enabled us to develop a stringent process (similar to that of an examination board, but on a smaller scale) of testing our material to ensure realistic timing and appropriate difficulty levels.

  • There are many providers, why should I book your mock exams?

    • Our mock exam papers are written by our in-house subject experts and are tailored to specific exam boards.

      Many mock exam providers may create generalised papers which seek to cover every exam board or otherwise create single subject papers which are 30 minutes in length. The value of shorter or generic papers may be limited as they do not reflect a real 11+ exam experience. These papers are likely to contain question styles that are not relevant to the exam your child will sit, or will omit some question styles that are relevant. A mock exam’s composition, content, time pressure and difficulty level should be targeted to a specific school for maximum efficacy. For example, a mock exam cannot be suited for Queen Elizabeth Boys' school as well as Latymer School as both schools use different exam bodies.

  • Classroom tested

    • Our mocks are developed in our own classrooms and tested on our students to ensure they mirror the experience and difficulty of a real 11+ exam.

  • Full length test papers

    • Our mocks are all full length to give students the most accurate representation of their real exam day. We do not use shortened, 30-minute exam papers, as these often do not accurately reflect the composition of an authentic 11+ exam.

  • High quality papers that reflect the real exam

    • Our mocks are tailored towards specific exam boards, including GL, CEM and ISEB.

      Our mocks reflect the same difficulty levels and timings expected in the actual 11+.

      Our in-person mocks use OCR scannable answer sheets to reflect the experience of using them before the real exam.

      Our mocks include up-to-date question styles written by our in-house teachers, based on the most recent entrance exams issued in the last year.

  • Prepared in-house and not publicly available

    • Our mocks are written by our own teachers and are exclusively used by Eleven Plus Exams. This ensures we use only the highest quality of exam material, which will have been rigorously classroom tested and will never have been seen by your child prior to sitting.

  • Comprehensive feedback reports

    • Our mock reports provide invaluable peer-comparison: this allows parents to gauge their child's progress in comparison to their cohort and benchmark their child's relative ability.

      Our mock reports identify specific areas of weakness for your child to focus on, so they can improve on their mistakes before the day of their real test.

      Our in-person mocks feature detailed exam reviews presented by our subject teachers, which cover the most challenging exam questions and provide expert tips on exam technique.

  • Prompt results

    • For in-person mocks, feedback reports are typically issued on the same day that a child sits the test.

      We have a dedicated team that will scan all answer sheets and then review all entries on computer software to ensure the accuracy of all results.

      For online mocks, feedback reports are typically issued no more than 1-2 hours after a child sits the test.

  • Exam conditions

    • Our mocks are conducted in authentic exam conditions, including all relevant formalities, to simulate the real day of the test.

  • Safe environment

    • All mock tests are held in a safe and controlled environment (at our own premises or at an alternative venue) with a high staff to pupil ratio to ensure the wellbeing of all students. All staff are checked by Disclosure and Barring Service.
