Who is this site made for?

This site is made for parents who are helping their children in Year 4 5 or 6 prepare for the 11+ Maths test on their own, or those who want to supplement existing 11+ tuition. It may also help Primary school teachers who have been asked to provide more challenging, involving and exciting Maths questions for their Year 5 or 6 classes.

What makes this site different?

Rather than spew out the same old pdf files from 2004, this site uses an algorithm to create brand new questions every time you click the 'GO' button. You will rarely see exactly the same question appear more than once since the numbers are randomly generated.

If your child gets a question wrong, they can click 'GO' again and re-attempt a very similar, but not identical version of the same question. This repeat-until-you-get-it approach enables them to learn at their own pace, correct their mistakes, and achieve a mastery of every topic.

How do I use this as a mock 11+ test for my child / pupils?

You have two options:

Online

Uncheck 'include solutions'.

Enter a time limit and number of marks (usually 50 minutes for 50 marks)

Once you click 'GO' the timer will automatically start. Your child may click the 'check answers' button to finish the test, or wait until the time runs out. The incorrect and correct answers will be shown automatically, along with a % score.

Printed

Check 'include solutions'.

Enter the number of marks (usually 50 marks)

Once you click 'GO', click the 'Print' button within the page (do not use Ctrl-P). This will print a paper copy for you and the solutions will be printed at the end, on a separate page.

Why was this page created?

Without giving an equal chance to every child regardless of their primary school, or whether their parents can afford a tutor, grammar schools may not select fairly. A less able but well prepared student may take the place of a more able but unprepared student.

This is not good for the grammar school. It is not good for the child that misses out on the amazing opportunities that these schools have to offer. And sometimes it is not good for the less able child who spends years at the bottom of the class in every subject.

I strongly believe in the benefits of a grammar system - provided that it is fair. But whether grammar schools are a 'good thing' is a question for pundits.
