11+ Exam Boards Comparison Table

Introduction

The 11 Plus exam syllabus differs slightly depending on the grammar or independent school you are applying for. However, the content of the 11+ does not vary much overall. All 11+ exams focus on the same subjects, recycling the same types of questions and content. Once you know this, you can use 11+ preparation resources for any exam board to help your child prepare for their 11+ exams.

The four main subjects covered by the 11+ are:

1. English

2. Maths

3. Verbal reasoning

4. Non-verbal reasoning

It is up to each school which subjects they test and how. Most schools that use an 11+ entry assessment work with an exam provider or body to administer the exam. There are several exam providers for the 11+ in England including GL, CEM, and ISEB, however some schools write their own exams.

The article below will shed some light on what subjects are tested by each of these exam boards and how you can use the many similarities between all 11+ exams to your advantage. We hope this will help you to make the most of all the free revision resources we provide, no matter your chosen school’s exam board.

GL (Granada Learning) Assessment

GL Assessment is a leading provider of 11+ admissions testing in the UK. They administer the majority of tests for the 11 Plus exams. All questions are multiple choice with five answer options per question.

GL offers exams in all of the main four subjects:

1. English

   GL English papers test: comprehension skills; use of capital letters and punctuation; spelling; word choice and grammar.

2. Maths

   GL maths papers test: knowledge of times tables; quick mental arithmetic; understanding of shapes, space and measures; applying the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and graph reading.

3. Verbal Reasoning

   GL verbal reasoning papers test: processing verbal information; similarities and differences between words; applying logical thinking and problem-solving skills; identifying patterns and demonstrating the understanding of the rules and meaning of language. Here are all of the individual question types that could be examined:

   • Insert a Letter

   • Odd One Out

   • Related Words

   • Closest Meanings

   • Opposite Meanings

   • Hidden Words

   • Missing Words

   • Letters for Numbers

   • Move a Letter

   • Letter Series

   • Number Series

   • Word Connections

   • Compound Words

   • Make a Word

   • Letter Connections

   • Reading Information/Solve the Riddle

   • Complete the Sum

   • Related Numbers

   • Word-Number Codes

   • Complete the Word

   • Same Meanings

4. Non-Verbal Reasoning

GL non-verbal reasoning papers test: processing graphic information and following patterns or rules; applying mathematical skills (such as rotation, reflection and symmetry); use of spatial awareness; applying logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

• Odd One Out

• Rotations

• Code Breaking

• Like Shapes Identification

• Missing Sequences

• Missing Squares

• Most Alike

• Nets

The GL 11+ consists of either a single test or a series of tests depending on the school. Each of these tests can cover one or more of the subjects listed above. Tests will vary depending on the local authority's or individual school’s decision as to which subjects to test.

Most GL 11+ papers contain some form of verbal reasoning as GL believe that this is proven to be the best predictor of future academic potential. Verbal reasoning tests identify a child’s ability to think logically about written information and then use this skill to solve problems.

If your child needs help developing their verbal reasoning skills, please join us for our weekly verbal reasoning free taster sessions. You can sign up for this week’s workshop here.

CEM (Centre for Evaluation and monitoring)

CEM is run by Cambridge University Press and Assessment. It was established in 1999 after concerns were raised over the use of tutors and coaching for GL Assessment. CEM aims to enable children to demonstrate their academic potential and ability without the need for coaching and excessive preparation. However, their exams are very similar in style and content to those of GL Assessment.

CEM offers exams in three subjects:

1. Maths

   This is referred to as ‘numerical reasoning’ by CEM.

2. Verbal Reasoning (and English)

   CEM’s definition of ‘verbal reasoning’ is a lot broader than that of GL Assessment and most other 11+ exam boards. Therefore, CEM’s verbal reasoning exams include aspects of English exams (such punctuation, grammar and comprehension questions).

   CEM also can include cloze passages with missing words that need to be filled in by students.

   Here are all of the individual question types that could be examined:

   • Reading/Comprehension

   • Closest Meanings

   • Opposite Meanings

   • Same Meanings

   • Cloze Passages

   • Complete the Word

   • Missing Words in a Sentence

   • Spelling Errors

   If your child needs help developing their verbal reasoning skills, please join us for our weekly verbal reasoning free taster sessions. You can sign up for this week’s workshop here.

3. Non-Verbal Reasoning

   CEM 11+ exams are usually 45-50 minutes long. There is often more than one paper and all questions are multiple choice with four or five answer options per question. CEM papers contain timed sections and each paper includes a mixture of all subjects. Children must work through each section and then wait until they are told to continue.

   Here are all of the individual question types that could be examined:

   • Rotations

   • Code Breaking

   • Like Shapes Identification

   • Missing Sequences

   • Missing Squares

   • Most Alike

   • Nets

   • Spatial Recognition

You can find specific information on your chosen grammar school’s use of CEM testing by clicking the button below.

The Kent Test

Kent is the largest grammar school area in the UK and as a result, it runs its own 11+ test. This test is also provided by GL Assessment. So (as you can probably thought) the Kent Test and GL Assessment exams are very similar. Please see above for more information and the possible question types.

The Kent Test tests all four of the main 11+ subjects in the same way as GL:

1. English

2. Maths

3. Verbal Reasoning

4. Non-Verbal Reasoning

The Kent Test also offers a creative writing exercise. This is not marked unless it is needed by a school panel as part of the headteacher assessment stage of the process.

There are always two 1 hour exams followed by a 40-minute writing exercise. Like GL, the Kent Test’s questions are multiple-choice with five answer options for each question.

You can find specific information on your chosen grammar school’s use of The Kent Test by clicking the button below.

The Sutton SET (Selective Eligibility Test)

The Sutton SET is a first stage 11+ exam used by the six grammar schools in the London Borough of Sutton. They are:

• Greenshaw High School

• Nonsuch High School for Girls

• Sutton Grammar School

• Wallington County Grammar School

• Wallington High School for Girls

• Wilson’s School

The Sutton SET tests two of the main 11+ subjects:

1. English

   The Sutton SET’s definition of English includes some verbal reasoning style questions.

   Here are all of the individual question types that could be examined:

   • Spelling Mistakes

   • Punctuation Mistakes

   • Comprehension

   • Word Meanings

   • Closest Meanings

   • Opposite Meanings

   • Parts of Speech

   • Language Techniques

   • Fill in the Gaps

2. Maths

The Sutton SET consists of two 40-50 minute exams. Both are multiple choice with five answers options per question. The content of the exams is in line with the KS2 curriculum.

You can find specific information on your chosen grammar school’s use of the Sutton SET by clicking the button below.

ISEB (independent schools examination board) Common Pre-Test

ISEB is known for producing the Common Pre-Test and Common Entrance examinations which are sat to gain entry to some of the top independent schools in the UK and abroad. As the ISEB Common Pre-Test is created by GL Assessment, the questions and question types found in this exam are very similar to those which appear in the 11+ GL exams. All questions are multiple-choice with five answer options for each question.

The ISEB Common Pre-Test is sat in Years 6 or 7 as a pre-test to determine a child’s eligibility to apply for the Common Entrance examination which is sat at the end of Year 8.

The ISEB Common Pre-Test assesses all of the main four subjects:

1. English

   Comprehension, missing words in sentences, spelling and punctuation

   Here are all of the individual question types that could be examined:

   • Comprehension

   • Sentence Completion

   • Spelling Mistakes

   • Punctuation Mistakes

2. Maths

   Any maths skills in line with the KS2 national curriculum up to the end of Year 5.

3. Verbal Reasoning

   Thinking and problem-solving with words.

   Here are all of the individual question types that could be examined:

   • Common Words

   • Opposite Meanings

   • Closest Meanings

   • Word Combinations

   • Letter Transfer

   • Number codes

4. Non-Verbal Reasoning

   ISEB tests thinking and problem-solving with shapes, diagrams and pictures.

   Here are all of the individual question types that could be examined:

   • Analogies

   • Like Classes

   • Horizontal Codes

All four of the ISEB Common Pre-Test exams take two and a half hours to complete.

• The English test takes 25 minutes.

• The maths test takes 50 minutes.

• The verbal reasoning test takes 36 minutes.

• The non-verbal reasoning test takes 32 minutes.

The four tests can be taken together or separately, but once a section is started it must be completed in one go. The tests can be completed in any order. Each test has a timer which counts down the time remaining for that section.

The four ISEB Pre-Test exams are taken online. A progress bar can be seen at the bottom of the screen at all times. The timer at the top of the screen shows students how much time they have remaining.

You can find specific information on your chosen school’s use of the ISEB Common Pre-Test by clicking the button below.

CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities TesT)

CAT4 is an assessment in different types of reasoning, created by GL Assessment. AS you might have thought, they are very similar in content. The CAT4 is taken by 750,000 students a year from the ages of 6-17. All questions are multiple-choice with five answer options for each question. CAT4 can be taken either online or on paper, but most schools prefer to use it online. The CAT4 test for the 11+ “provides you with an accurate analysis of potential student achievement”. It is similar to an IQ test, providing the school with a profile of each student’s ability in four areas:

1. Verbal Reasoning 

   This test focuses on a child’s ability to express ideas and use reason when faced with word problems. This also tests vocabulary knowledge.

   Here are the question types that will be examined:

   • Verbal Classification

   • Verbal Analogies

2. Non-Verbal Reasoning 

   This test focuses on problem-solving using pictures and diagrams, rather than words.

   Here are the question types that will be examined:

   • Figure Classification

   • Figure Matrices

3. Spatial Reasoning (or Maths)

   Spatial reasoning is a term that we have not mentioned yet, but don’t let that scare you or your child. This tests a child’s ability to find answers when faced with questions that use three dimensions (e.g. - finding the volume of a 3D shape). Most other exam boards include this in their 11+ maths exams.

   Here are the question types that will be examined:

   • Figure Analysis

   • Figure Recognition

4. Quantitative Reasoning (or Maths)

   Finally, this tests a child’s ability to use numbers to solve problems… It is just a fancy name for maths.

   Here are the question types that will be examined:

   • Number Analogies

   • Number Series

Overall, the CAT4 takes 72 minutes. It is composed of 8 short tests assessing the following subsections of the four areas above:

1. Figure Classification (10 mins)

2. Figure Matrices (10 mins)

3. Verbal Classification (8 mins)

4. Verbal Analogies (8 mins)

5. Number Analogies (10 mins)

6. Number Series (8 mins)

7. Figure Analysis (9 mins)

8. Figure Recognition (9 mins)

You can find specific information on your chosen independent school’s use of CAT4 by clicking the button below.

Independent School Testing (Grammar VS Independent Schools)

This is where the 11+ syllabus differs a little. While content and topics remain similar, there are some bigger differences between the 11+ exam style for grammar schools (as detailed above) and the 11+ exams sat by independent (also known as private) schools.

Firstly, most English independent schools tend to write their own 11+ entrance exams. Therefore, there is a greater variety in topics covered and question styles. While most grammar school exams tend to consist of multiple-choice questions, independent schools often use standard answer (also known as written answer) questions. This is because grammar school exam boards use optical readers to mark exam papers, whereas independent school papers are marked by people (often teachers at the school).

English Independent School Exams

Independent school English exams use standard answer questions. Similar to grammar school exams, there is almost always a comprehension exercise. Independent schools are known to use more difficult texts and questions. An independent school exam tends to place more focus on understanding and interpreting the meaning of a text or author, especially when using a classic text. A wide vocabulary is needed to do well in this exam.

If your child needs help developing their vocabulary, please join us every weekday morning by listen to our 11+ Daily Vocab Show podcast. You can listen to the first episode below.

Furthermore, there is less of a focus on specific spelling, punctuation and grammar questions in an independent school English exam. This is because longer, written answer questions require students to write in correct and accurate English. Marks can be awarded and lost for use of spelling, punctuation and grammar during this.

The most important difference here is independent schools’ use of creative or persuasive writing as part of their English exams. Most grammar school exams are marked by computer and therefore large written exams are not taken into account. The Kent Test assesses creative writing, but only as a back-up to help solve any tie-breaks between students competing for the same place at a school. Most (if not all) independent school exams include a writing section, which counts towards the final mark of the exam. Therefore, developing your child’s creative and persuasive writing skills can be key to succeeding in an independent school’s English exam.

Take a look at some of the best 11+ creative and persuasive writing answers Exam Coach students have produced by clicking here.

Maths Independent School Exams

Again, a major difference here is the use of standard answer questions. 11+ maths exams for independent schools including longer, detailed questions, often with multiple parts. Marks are given for clear workings as well as the correct answer for most questions.

Overall, independent school maths exams tend to include fewer, but more difficult, questions. The majority of the questions in these exams will align with the KS2 curriculum (up to and including Year 6). However, some schools are known to include a few tricker questions at the end of the paper. These will often include content that students have not been taught at school, requiring them to use their existing maths knowledge and logic to find the answer. This is done in order to single out the very best and most gifted young mathematicians.

Verbal Reasoning Independent School Exams

Verbal reasoning exams do not tend to differ much between grammar and independent schools. Most independent schools buy their VR tests from the same exam boards as grammar schools (namely GL Assessment, CEM or ISEB) meaning they sit the same type of exam.

Please see above for more information on how these different exam boards test verbal reasoning and the possible question types. If you are unsure which exam board your school uses, please check your school website.

Non-Verbal Reasoning Independent School Exams

Finally, non-verbal reasoning testing is less common among independent schools. There are currently no independent schools in England which use their own non-verbal reasoning exam.

Similarly to the above, most independent schools that test non-verbal reasoning buy their tests from the same exam boards as grammar schools, this means children will sit the same type of exam.

Please see above for more information on how these different exam boards test non-verbal reasoning and the possible question types. If you are unsure which exam board your school uses, please check your school website.

How To Do Your Own 7 Plus (7+) Mock Exam At Home

Preparing for a school entry exam can be a daunting task for both parents and students alike. A single examination can determine entry into selective primary schools across the country for KS3, shaping the academic future of your child. When preparing for the 7 Plus, especially as exam day approaches, mock exams serve as indispensable tools, offering a glimpse into the format and procedure of the actual test.

But here's the twist: mock exams need not be confined to expensive test centres or costly tuition companies. With the right approach, you can seamlessly integrate mock testing into your child's 7+ preparation from the comfort of your home. By familiarizing your child with the examination format and providing a conducive environment for practice, you can instil confidence and exam familiarity at home. Conducting mock exams at home offers you the flexibility to tailor the experience to your child's specific needs and your schedule.

In this guide, we aim to take you through the process of conducting your very own 7 Plus mock exams at home, ensuring that your child is well-prepared to tackle the challenges that lie ahead, without the (often large) fees. Whether you need tips on setting up an exam-like environment, selecting the appropriate practice papers, or marking your child’s work, we've got you covered every step of the way.

Join us as we delve into the intricacies of home-based mock exams, empowering you to take charge of your child's preparation journey and pave the way for their success in the 7 Plus exam and beyond.

Benefits of Mock Exams

Mock exams offer plenty of benefits to both students and parents embarking on the journey towards 7 Plus examinations. Firstly, a mock test allows your child to become familiar with the exam, including the structure, timings, and types of questions featured in their actual 7 Plus exams. By simulating the exam environment at home, students can become accustomed to the pressure and time constraints they will encounter on exam day. This familiarity not only boosts confidence but also helps alleviate exam anxiety, ensuring that students can perform at their best when it matters most, without any surprises.

Conducting mock exams at home serves as an excellent stepping stone towards the actual exam day. It allows students to gradually acclimatise to exam conditions and refine their test-taking strategies in a familiar environment. This gradual progression helps build confidence and minimises the likelihood of being overwhelmed by the exam setting on the big day. The 7+ will often be the first formal exam your child has ever sat! Therefore, practice and familiarisation on the exam process are key.

With careful planning and preparation, mock exams can be conducted in exam-like conditions right in the comfort of your own home. Ensuring a quiet, distraction-free environment and adhering to strict timing guidelines mirror the conditions students will face in the official exam hall. (We’ll look at this in more detail later on.) This enables students to practice under realistic circumstances and enhances their ability to perform under pressure.

Finally, a mock exam offers you a valuable insight into your child's performance and readiness for the 7 Plus exam. By reviewing their performance and answers, parents can gauge their child's strengths and weaknesses across different subjects and question types. Additionally, marking your child's work provides a deeper understanding of their progress over time, allowing for targeted interventions and focused revision efforts.

In essence, mock testing is an indispensable part of the 7 Plus preparation journey. So how do you do them at home? 

Setting Up Your Mock Exam

Preparing for a mock exam at home is probably a lot easier to do than you realise. Testing at home offers a cost-effective and convenient alternative to formal test centres or tutoring services.

Conducting a mock exam at home doesn't require a lot of resources or specialized knowledge. With access to practice papers, a printer and a quiet space, you can recreate the exam experience. Here's how to create the ideal environment for your child's mock examinations.

1. To start off, select a suitable time and date for your child's mock exam. Ensure they can work throughout this time without interruption, allowing them to focus fully on the task at hand. Minimise distractions from siblings, household chores, screens or other commitments to create an optimal testing environment.

2. Choose a quiet and well-lit space for the mock exam. This could be a designated study area or any room free from distractions. The goal is to create a comfortable setting that promotes concentration and enables your child to immerse themselves fully in the exam experience.

3. Equip your child with the necessary materials for the mock exam, including the exam paper or/and answering booklet, pencils, erasers, and a clock/timer to track the time. To replicate exam conditions fully, put the clock or timer in their eye-line. When your child looks up from their paper, they should be able to see the clock. Limit access to just the essential materials to mimic the conditions of the actual exam and foster a focused mindset.

4. While you have the option to supervise your child during the mock exam, it's also acceptable to allow them to work independently. Regardless of your choice, enforce certain restrictions, such as prohibiting the use of mobile phones or computers, to maintain the integrity of the exam conditions. If in doubt, just remove anything distracting from the workspace. They must work in silence.

By following these straightforward steps, you can create a conducive and authentic testing environment for your child's mock exam at home. This approach not only saves time and money but also provides a setting for invaluable practice in a familiar and comfortable setting. This style of mock test can then be repeated as many times as you feel is needed for full familiarisation.

Selecting Exam Papers

Choosing the right practice papers for your child's mock exam is crucial for effective preparation. Using reputable 7 Plus style practice or past papers ensures your child is exposed to high-quality questions that closely resemble those found in their actual 7 Plus exam. These papers are carefully curated to cover the breadth and depth of topics tested, providing comprehensive preparation for all sections of the exam. These papers will also closely replicate the format and style of the actual examination paper, often providing an answering booklet as will occur in the exam.

For free sample practice papers, we highly recommend using our own free practice papers below. These are perfect for using as mock exam papers at home.

We also send out one free English or mathematics 11 Plus practice paper, exam-style answering booklet and answers every single week! These papers will be helpful for your child in the future. You can sign up for more information and a new test paper weekly below.

By selecting official or reputable practice papers, such as the Exam Coach's papers, you can ensure that your child receives the highest quality preparation for the 7 Plus exam. These resources not only enhance your child's understanding of exam content but also build their confidence and readiness to tackle the challenges of the actual exam.

Simulating Exam Conditions

Replicating real exam conditions during mock exams at home is essential for providing an authentic testing experience and preparing students for the real 7 Plus exam. Here's how to ensure your mock exams closely resemble the actual testing environment.

We provide exam answering booklets designed to mimic the format and layout of official exam papers. Encourage your child to use these booklets to familiarize themselves with the exam style and structure, including the arrangement of questions and answer spaces.

Before beginning the mock exam, take a moment to review the information page on the practice paper. This page typically includes important details, such as the time limit for each section and the allowed resources, such as pencils and paper. Familiarizing your child with this information helps them understand what to expect and how to manage their time effectively during the exam. Exam invigilators will often read out the instructions section to the entire group before the exam begins.

Make sure your child always has a clock within sight when completing a mock exam. And ensure they adhere to the time limit specified. This mirrors the timing constraints imposed during the actual 7 Plus exam and helps your child practice pacing themselves appropriately to complete all questions within the allotted time. When time is up, they must stop working immediately, even if they are halfway through an answer.

For parents, setting a timer can be a useful tool to track your child's progress and provide timely updates on remaining time. By checking in with your child formally at intervals, you can ensure that your child stays on track and manages their time effectively. Some exam boards may also specify timed sections during the exam, making it beneficial for children to practice working within specified timeframes. Always read through the instructions on the first or second page of the exam paper before giving it to your child. It will make any timings and reminders needed clear, so you can ensure they are adhered to during your mock exam.

Encourage your child to work independently during the mock exam, without seeking support or assistance from others. This mirrors the conditions of the actual 7 Plus exam, where students are expected to rely solely on their own knowledge and skills to answer questions. No notes or other materials should be in front of them except the exam paper.

Marking and reviewing

Marking your child's mock exam papers is a crucial step in the preparation process, offering valuable insights into their performance and progress. All our 7 Plus practice papers come with answers, a mark scheme and/or model answers to allow you to mark their work yourself.

Begin by meticulously marking your child's work using the provided answer key or mark scheme. This ensures consistency and accuracy in assessing their responses against the expected answers. Take note of any incorrect or incomplete answers, as well as areas where your child excelled.

Once you've completed the marking process, take the time to review your child's work comprehensively. Provide them with an overall score to gauge their performance on the mock exam. This score serves as a benchmark for tracking progress and identifying areas for improvement.

However, don't stop at simply assigning a score. Take the opportunity to go through your child's mistakes with them in detail. Discuss each incorrect answer and help them understand where they went wrong and how to approach similar questions in the future. Offer guidance, explanations, and strategies to address any areas of weakness and reinforce their understanding of key concepts.

Furthermore, analyse trends in your child's results if they are regularly completing exam papers. Look for patterns or recurring mistakes to spot areas where your child may need additional support or practice. This systematic approach allows you to identify your child's strengths and weaknesses accurately, enabling you to tailor their preparation accordingly.

Seek feedback and assistance if needed

Parents play a crucial role in supporting their child's 7 Plus preparation journey, but it's essential to recognise when additional assistance or guidance may be beneficial. If you encounter challenges or have questions about your child's progress, don't hesitate to seek feedback and help from us. For instance, many parents find it challenging to administer written comprehension or creative writing mock exams and marking because of the more flexible and subjective nature of the mark scheme. Our team of experienced educators and tutors is here to provide support and guidance tailored to your child's needs. We are here to help.

We deliver weekly tuition sessions for students preparing for 11 Plus entry exams. Our weekly 11+ tuition sessions cover:

• English Vocabulary Expansion

• English Comprehension

• Creative Writing

• Basic Verbal Reasoning

Although these sessions will be pitched at the 11 Plus level, particularly able 7 Plus students could start with the vocabulary focussed sessions. This is because vocabulary expansion requires the least amount of prior technical knowledge. The exposure to new, interesting words and their correct usage will provide your child with more opportunity for all-round learning and development.

From there, your child may well be able to progress onto the comprehension or creative writing weekly sessions as they mature. For 7 Plus parents who would like to keep their children one or two steps ahead of their current year group, we highly recommend trying our weekly 11 Plus sessions.

By seeking feedback and assistance when necessary and taking advantage of our 11 Plus tuition and resources, you can ensure that your child receives the support they need to succeed in the 7 Plus exam. Together, we can work towards helping your child achieve their academic goals and unlock their full potential.

Conclusion

In conclusion, conducting 7 Plus mock exams at home is simple! It offers a cost-effective and convenient solution for preparing your child for their upcoming exams. Our mock exam papers are specifically designed for home use, providing a realistic testing experience without any additional expense. By incorporating home mock exams into your child's preparation regimen alongside our other offerings, you can ensure they receive a comprehensive and well-rounded preparation for the exam.

The value of home mock exams extends beyond mere practice; they serve as invaluable tools for familiarizing your child with the exam format, managing exam anxiety, and identifying areas for improvement. Even if done only once, home mock exams can significantly contribute to your child's readiness and confidence on exam day.

We hope that this free guide and our free weekly exam papers will assist your child on their preparation journey, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the 7 Plus exam.
