Practising with structured 11 plus practice papers is the single highest-leverage prep activity. Here's the four-step method experienced 11+ tutors recommend.
Most UK state grammar schools use GL Assessment (Kent Test, Bucks 11+, Trafford, Sutton, Bexley, Lincolnshire). The King Edward Foundation in Birmingham and CEM Select consortium use CEM-style papers. UK independent schools use the ISEB Pre-Test or own-paper format. Northern Ireland grammars use the SEAG Transfer Test. Confirm the exact test before downloading.
Download the free 11 plus papers with answers PDF for the exam your child is sitting. Print it out (most parents prefer paper for the first attempt to mimic real exam conditions) or use a tablet for digital practice.
Set a timer to match the real exam timing (typically 45-50 minutes). Quiet room, no help from parents during the paper. This is the single biggest mistake parents make — practising untimed loses 80% of the value of free 11 plus practice papers.
Use the included answer key to mark the paper. For any questions your child got wrong, watch the sample tutor video to see the correct method. This identifies the topics that need more work and shows you whether our paid packs (with video walkthroughs for every question) would help your child.
Our free 11 plus papers with answers are written for two distinct groups of UK families — both benefit from downloading and using the sample papers before deciding on paid prep.
If your child is in Year 4 or early Year 5, these free 11 plus practice papers are the right place to begin. They give you a realistic preview of test difficulty, question types and timing — which lets you assess your child's current standing and decide which subjects need the most prep. Most parents start with our free GL Assessment or Independent samples since these cover all four 11+ subjects.
If your child is already deep into 11+ prep and has used CGP, Bond, or school-provided 11+ past papers, our free 11 plus papers with answers PDF gives you an extra fresh paper your child hasn't seen — useful for late-prep mock-exam practice. Most Year 6 families then upgrade to our full packs (24 papers + 1,200 videos) when they realise tutor video walkthroughs explain mistakes more effectively than written answer keys alone.
These free 11+ exam papers also work as a quality check — if you're unsure whether ExamTutor is right for your family, download a free 11 plus paper with answers and see if the question style and difficulty match what your child needs.
We add new free 11 plus papers with answers throughout the year. Drop your email to get notified — also receive 11+ exam date reminders for Kent, Bucks, Birmingham, and NI Transfer Test.
Optional. We never share your email. You can unsubscribe any time.
Everything parents ask before downloading our free 11 plus papers with answers.
Yes. All four sample papers and their answer keys are free 11 plus papers with answers in PDF format. You can download them directly without signing up, registering, or entering payment details. The sample papers are 100% the same quality and format as the papers inside our paid packs — they're simply a smaller sample so you can evaluate before buying.
No. Unlike CGP Books and most other 11 plus sites, our free 11 plus papers with answers PDF downloads are completely ungated — click and download. We do offer an optional email signup if you'd like us to send you new free papers and 11+ exam date reminders, but it's never required.
The free papers include free 11 plus maths papers with answers and free 11 plus english papers with answers PDF content. Our GL Assessment and Independent samples include all four 11+ subjects (English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning). The CEM sample uses CEM's mixed-format style covering Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The SEAG sample covers English and Maths (the two SEAG transfer test subjects).
Yes. All four free 11+ papers are written for the 2026/27 admission cycle and match the current published test specifications from GL Assessment, CEM (Cambridge Assessment), ISEB and Schools' Entrance Assessment Group.
Our free 11+ practice papers are written by tutors who actively prepare children for these specific tests — not by general curriculum publishers. The key differentiator is our paid packs add tutor-led video walkthroughs for every question, which means your child sees exactly how to solve each problem step-by-step — something CGP and Bond don't offer. Use the free papers to assess our quality, then upgrade if you want the video tutorials.
The free 11+ sample papers are just the start. Our paid packs include 24 full practice papers and 1,200 tutor video walkthroughs.
