Realistic mock exams
Our mock exams are run like the real 11+: one timed attempt in a set window and results on a set date. They build confidence and exam technique, and show what to work on.
How our mocks work
- Timed papers, like the real exam
- Sat at home, online or on paper, at any time in the exam window
- GL Assessment and CEM-style questions
- Results and a full report on results day, just like the real 11+
- A ranking among everyone who sat the same mock, when enough children take part
Progress tracking
Reports help you and your child see strengths, spot what needs work and follow progress over time.
For students
- A plan for today on their dashboard
- Scores and marked answers for every paper
- Badges and rewards to work towards
- A "Fix my mistakes" list of questions to redo

Practice that fits your child
Academy11+ uses your child's answers to decide what comes next, so practice goes where it's needed.
How it adapts
- A short placement check that gets harder or easier as your child answers
- Course papers that avoid questions your child has already practised

- Spaced repetition in the vocabulary spelling games
- A week plan and a plan for each day
- Course weeks that open one at a time
