About the Education & School tests
From the 11+ entrance exam to GCSE finals, our free school practice tests are aligned to the UK national curriculum and the major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CEM and GL). Each mock is timed and gives instant feedback so children — and parents — can see exactly what to revise next.
Whether you're prepping for a grammar school place, a Year 6 SATs paper, or counting down to GCSE results day, regular short mocks beat long revision marathons every time.
What you'll find here
11+ practice covers verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English comprehension and maths in both GL and CEM styles. GCSE Maths drills foundation and higher tier topics including algebra, geometry, statistics and number. GCSE English questions cover language analysis, creative writing and the literature anthology. SATs practice is split into KS1 (Year 2) and KS2 (Year 6) reading, SPaG and arithmetic.
Tips for pupils and parents
Short, frequent practice beats long Sunday sessions. Aim for 20–30 minutes a day, four to five days a week.
After every mock, mark together and rewrite one question the child got wrong — explaining it back is the fastest way to lock learning in.
Time the mocks. Many bright children lose marks not because they don't know the answer but because they run out of time. Practise pacing.
Don't skip past papers. The wording style of GL, CEM, AQA and Edexcel is distinctive and pupils who've seen 5 or more past papers in their target style outperform those who haven't.
Why practice tests work for school exams
School exams reward two things: knowing the content and knowing the format. Most pupils have plenty of content from school but very little experience of the format under time pressure. Mock tests fix that gap, and they also build the calm confidence that prevents silly mistakes on the day.
