What does the GL Assessment 11+ test?

GL Assessment 11+ papers usually test English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Each test chooses its own mix and timings, so check the familiarisation material for the test your child will sit.

Is the GL Assessment 11+ multiple choice?

GL Assessment papers are usually multiple choice: your child picks each answer from a set of options. GL Assessment tests are multiple choice and cover four main areas. They are widely used by grammar schools and provide detailed feedback on performance.

Where can I find GL Assessment practice papers?

Start with the familiarisation material from the official GL Assessment website or the admissions page for your child's test, which shows the real papers, timings and answer sheets. On Academy11+ there are 31 timed practice papers in Maths, English, English comprehension, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, and every child gets a free sample paper in each subject.

When should my child start GL Assessment practice papers?

Most children are ready for full timed papers in the second half of Year 5, once they have learnt the question types. Before that, short untimed practice by question type works better. Check the test date on your test's guide and plan back from it.
