How to Use These Free 11+ Practice Papers

Practising with structured 11 plus practice papers is the single highest-leverage prep activity. Here's the four-step method experienced 11+ tutors recommend.

  1. 1

    Identify which 11+ exam your child needs

    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.

  2. 2

    Download the matching free PDF

    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.

  3. 3

    Sit the paper under timed conditions

    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.

  4. 4

    Mark with the answer key & watch the sample video

    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.

Who These Free 11+ Practice Papers Are For

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.

📚 Parents starting 11+ prep in Year 4 or Year 5

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.

⏰ Parents needing more 11+ practice papers in Year 6

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.

Free 11+ Papers — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything parents ask before downloading our free 11 plus papers with answers.

Are these 11+ papers really free?

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.

Do I need to give my email to download?

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.

What subjects do the free 11+ papers cover?

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).

Are the free papers up-to-date for 2026/27?

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.

How do these free papers compare to CGP or Bond?

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.

Ready for the Full Practice Packs?

The free 11+ sample papers are just the start. Our paid packs include 24 full practice papers and 1,200 tutor video walkthroughs.
