Who it's for

  • Children who have just started Year 5 and are beginning their 11+ journey
  • Families who want an introductory, low-pressure assessment that highlights strengths and weaknesses without overwhelming the child
  • Students who need an early checkpoint before moving into more challenging exam-style practice later in Year 5 and Year 6

Benefits of taking the exam

  • Identify strengths and weaknesses early so you know exactly where to focus time and support
  • Gain more time to course-correct — spotting blind spots in Year 5 means you can improve them well before the real exam
  • Build familiarity and confidence with exam conditions in a safe, low-stakes environment
  • Provide tutors/parents with actionable insights — not just a score, but a clear direction for targeted practice
  • Benchmark progress — use this exam as a "before picture" to measure how much progress your child makes over the year

What to expect

  • A simulated exam environment under timed conditions, just like the real 11+
  • Age-appropriate content at an introductory level — challenging enough to reveal gaps, but not as tough as the final exam papers
  • A comprehensive report showing strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots in key subjects
  • Clear next-step recommendations so you know how to support your child's preparation moving forward
