1. Who compiles the mock test questions?
The test questions have been compiled by leading 11+ authors with many years experience of assessing students for the 11+ exams. The test questions will be similar in format and standard to those published by GL/Nfer Nelson who supply some of the real 11+ papers used by some grammar schools.
2. Are the mock test papers the same for all sittings?
No, they are different. Should you book more than one mock test with us, simply notify us that you have attended one previously and you will be given a different set of papers each time.
Should you find the number of papers in one sitting too intense for your child, you may book differing subjects on different test dates.
oes passing this test guarantee entry into the Grammar and Independent Schools?
No. This is simply a mock test and it in no way contributes to gaining entry to any school. The result your child obtains during the real 11+ exams will determine whether he/she gains a place or not.
Will the test results be weighted by age?
Yes, the results will be weighted, just like the real 11+ exams. Weighting will be applied as follows:
Add 0 point for children born between 1st Sept to 30th November
Add 1 point for children born between 1st December and 28th February
Add 2 points for children born between 1st March to 31st May
Add 3 points for children born between 1st June and 31st August

My child has taken the mock test at Sutton Grammar School for Boys. Does he/she need to take another test?
The mock test organised by the Parent Teachers Association at Sutton Grammar School for Boys is an excellent way to get your child familiar with the experience of taking an 11+ exam. Our approach however, goes a step further. We address two areas of importance to parents that the Sutton Grammar Mock tests do not.
Firstly, the Mock Test results for boys who sit the exam at Sutton Grammar are presented with that of girls. Our mock tests results will be for boys or girls only. It will enable you rank your child's performance against other children who will be taking the same exams. A good way to see if your child is of selective ability, but please do not take the mock results as conclusive evidence that this is the case. Like any other mock test, it is only a guide.
Secondly, the test being held at all locations give you the option to request feedback on the questions your child gets wrong. We would like parents to know their child's strengths and weaknesses in this exam paper. This could be invaluable in helping them target areas where their child is underperforming in relation to their all male or female cohort. We have attempted to make our mock test questions cover a wide range of 11+ topics, there is no however no guarantee, that all these areas will be examined on the day.
Many parents do get their children to sit several mock tests as this makes them extremely familiar with what to expect on the day, enabling them to be much more relaxed and perform better.
Please advise us in advance if your child is unable to attend a booked Mock test. This will ensure that those on the waiting list can then be offered the place.
Where notification of any absence is not given in advance, the fee paid will immediately be forfeited. Management reserves the right however, to allow a transfer to another mock test date only where:

Where a customer requests a refund up to 30 days in advance, this will be given less a 25% administration charge. Unfortunately, refund requests after this date cannot be granted..
You will be required to present your completed Admission Entry Sheet to gain admission on the day. Only fully paid applicants will be granted entry on the day.
