Preparing for the 11 plus
11 plus preparation can be stressful for children and parents alike. It can also be costly! There are multiple books, resources and online tests that, when added to registration fees etc. can add up to quite a bit. We thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of free resources (including our own top notch papers) to help you with your preparation.
We hope you find it useful and should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

CEM familiarisation test
Many schools are now using computerised tests for entrance exams. This can seem intimidating, especially if a student has only ever practised using printed papers and pen and paper. On their website, CEM provide a computerised practice test to help students familiarise themselves with the format (you will need Flash player installed your computer to access this):
