Strong 11+ performance comes from two things working together, and Papers Plus Prep covers both.
Familiarity with the exam. Our past papers help your child get comfortable with the style, structure and timing of school exam papers, so nothing on exam day comes as a surprise.
Genuine underlying skill. Our practice papers build the core Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning ability that every 11+ question draws on - whether through focused topic practice or full mixed papers - so your child can handle unfamiliar questions, not just ones they've seen before.
Used together, they prepare your child at every level: skill, understanding and confidence.
How Papers Plus Prep Works
Choose a paper.
Start with a school sample paper to mirror the exam format, a focused topic paper to work on a particular area, or a full practice paper covering a range of topics.
Let your child work through it.
Children attempt the paper independently - untimed while they're still learning a topic, or timed as the exam approaches.
Review it together.
Use our worked answers and explanations to mark the paper, understand any mistakes and see exactly what to work on next.

Get StartedCommon Questions
- Are past papers enough for 11+ preparation?
- Past papers are most effective when combined with practice papers to strengthen weaker areas. Used together, they build both exam familiarity and underlying skill.
- When should my child start preparing for the 11+?
- Many parents begin gentle preparation in Year 4 and increase practice during Year 5. Starting earlier allows skills to build gradually, without last-minute pressure - though the right time depends on your child and your target schools.
- Do your resources include answers?
- Yes. Every paper includes answers - Maths worked step by step, and English with exact answers where there is one plus model answers for longer questions.
- Which subjects do you cover?
- We currently cover 11+ Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning. These are core building blocks for most 11+ exams, whichever schools your child is applying to.
