What is the 11+ pass mark?

There is no fixed national pass mark. Each grammar school sets a standardised threshold each year — typically around 121 on a scaled score, but it varies by region.

Different regions use different boards. Our mocks include both styles so your child gets balanced practice. Check with your target school which format they use.

How long should we revise for?

Most families start structured 11+ prep 12–18 months before the test. The closer to the date, the more value full timed mocks add.

Is the real test on paper or computer?

Most grammar schools still use paper tests; some independent schools have moved to computer-based assessment. Practising on screen is still useful — comprehension is the same skill either way.

In word categories, odd one out, semantic grouping and logical comparison support the scenario, not loose facts. Where options look close, the detail around vocabulary accuracy helps explain the correct choice. Within Eleven Plus Mock 5, the practice stays focused on word categories.
