11 Plus Mock Exams

11 Plus Mock Exam - Canford Magna

An important part of 11 Plus preparation is giving students the opportunity to experience a series of tests in unfamiliar surroundings. Our 11 Plus mock exams consist of a 3-hour exam comprising of 3 papers:

  • Maths – 50 minutes
  • English – 45 minutes
  • Verbal Reasoning (VR) – 50 minutes
We recommend that students undertake 11 Plus mock exams before they sit the real entrance exam, as it allows them to practice exam technique and to experience what it will be like to sit 3 timed papers, back to back in a real exam environment.
 

There can be a considerable difference in the way students perform in sessions, versus how they perform in a formal exam. This mock experience enables students to face any worries or fears they may have about the exam, so they know what to expect when it comes to the real thing, enabling them to remain calm and focus on answering the questions.

What to expect

  • Guidance on time keeping

  • Tips on answering all questions 

  • Practise 11 Plus topics and techniques learnt 

  • Timings used in the real exam

  • Exam Invigilators

  • An in-depth report identifying areas of strength, areas requiring more focus and a comparison against the cohort.

Mock Exam Feedback

Have a read of the feedback we’ve received from parents whose children have attended our mocks and how beneficial they’ve found them.

I thought the mock test was a fantastic idea, particularly for children in state school who have no experience of the grammar-style test. Also the level of feedback provided was excellent, I was not expecting the amount of details and guidance breaking it down into each area and showing the question types to focus on, as well as giving a useful comparison to other year groups was really helpful.

Thank you Phil and Katie! I'm really glad he's on the right track and thanks for such a detailed follow up report. I think this session was so useful to get him familiar with the whole exam experience (including the nerves)! Thank you.

I would highly recommend Phil and Kate. According to my son, Phil is epic! He explained things very well over the zoom sessions with little tips to save time. Their mock 11+ exams were a great help as they gave very quick results and areas to focus on. Katie helped tremendously by being very flexible with our ever changing session times.
