You do not have to mark the practice papers since the software automatically marks the attempt and stores the previous attempts. The child can do multiple attempts of any question type provided. The online environment can be more motivating for children as they can monitor their own progress. All practice is beneficial and the online environment offers practice in a different medium, giving instant feedback and child-friendly hints and advice. With many top secondary schools now using computer-based pre-tests for selection prior to the actual 11+ exam, this site will provide valuable online experience in preparation for this initial exam.

There are hundreds of unique practice questions in each question type. Each practice attempt randomly selects 10 questions from the question bank. The question type can be practised over and over again with randomly selected questions each time. There is no time limit for these practices. There is also the option to take longer timed tests with up to 100 questions.

There are four courses available in 11-plus Verbal Reasoning, 11-plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, 11-plus English and 11-plus Maths. All four courses are contained in the Complete 11-plus exam course.

Yes. Even though the method of answering standard and multiple-choice questions is different, standard format verbal reasoning questions have many question types in common with multiple-choice question types. Furthermore, around 80% of the verbal reasoning papers actually test the strength of vocabulary, and so irrespective of the multiple-choice nature of the questions, this online product will either introduce new words or reinforce known words. The online nature of the preparation can also act as a fun break from the monotony of endless practice papers whilst still building a child's vocabulary and efficiency.

Yes on both counts. In most LEAs (Local Education Authorities) 12plus (12+) exams tend to be very similar to the 11plus (11+) exams and tend to test the four subjects of Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English and maths. However, you need to confirm this with the appropriate LEA or school. The Northern Ireland Transfer Test is based on English and maths questions and those two sections of the site provide perfect practice. The Verbal Reasoning section also contains suitable and demanding practice in aspects of English and maths.

The questions have been written by Stephen McConkey M.A. (Ed) B.Ed.(Hons), a primary school headmaster with over twenty years of classroom experience preparing pupils for their 11-plus exams. Stephen established Learning Together in 1991 and they specialise in publishing high-quality practice material for 11-plus Verbal Reasoning, 11-plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, 11-plus Maths and 11-plus English.
