If you wish to purchase commercially printed practice papers these can be obtained from the GL Assessment website or online retailers.  The practice papers come in packs, together with a guide for parents and a simplified administration and mark scheme.

The practice papers are representative of the actual 11+ tests but they are not identical. The actual tests may include item types that are not in the practice papers and the practice papers may omit item types that are in the actual tests.

The practice papers give pupils the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the general nature of the tests and to practise aspects such as following instructions carefully and working against a time limit.

Practice papers are also sent to 34 local primary schools in June to be administered at a time that suits them.  This could be at any time during term 6 or in the Autumn term before the actual tests in September, and it is up to each individual primary school Headteacher if they provide feedback to parents.  If your son attends a primary school that does not administer the practice tests, he will be invited to attend these at Carre's Grammar School on the morning of Saturday 14 June 2025.

We will also provide access to sample practice papers via the ‘Frog’ online learning platform. Individual usernames/passwords will be issued to those registered to take the 11+ tests at the end of April/beginning of May 2025.
