Some people are worried about the level of vocabulary used in certain 11 plus practice papers. My advice is not to worry too much. The majority of 11 plus practice is about perfecting method and technique and being aware of the possible question variations. Practice papers will not dramatically increase your child's vocabulary. That must be done by other means such as reading and using our online vocabulary builder tests. Word lists created from past papers may help you gauge the overall vocabulary level, but do not assume these same words will appear again. They more than likely will not.

Our free papers should keep you busy for a long time but if you do require more papers or simply would prefer not to print your own, you can purchase our popular verbal reasoning book 1.

VERBAL REASONING PRACTICE BOOK 1

Due to popular demand we have published some BRAND NEW 11+ practice questions. This is a must-have book for anyone attempting the 11+ exam.

Increasing Vocab, Memory and Mental Speed 

In addition to practice papers we recommend general vocab building and increasing mental speed. With these tasks in mind, we created our - now famous - 11 plus playing cards. They are used by many tutors across the country to make lessons fun but at the same time boost vocabulary and exercise the brain.
