Frequently asked questions

What 11+ past papers can I find on CampusO₂?

Browse official 11 plus past papers organised by subject — Mathematics, English and more — and by exam board, including GL Assessment, CEM and CSSE formats. Each paper includes question papers and mark schemes where available, so you can download, print and practise under timed conditions at home.

Which 11+ exam boards and formats are covered?

Our library covers the main 11+ test providers used by grammar schools across England: GL Assessment (Kent, Buckinghamshire and many other regions), CEM (Birmingham, Warwickshire and others) and CSSE (Essex). Choose the format that matches your target school's admissions test — question style, timing and subject mix differ between providers.

How should we use 11+ past papers for grammar school preparation?

Complete one full paper under timed conditions, mark every answer immediately using the mark scheme, and log errors by topic. Revisit weak areas with targeted practice before moving to the next paper. Most families do one official paper per week during peak preparation, paired with shorter daily drills on CampusO₂.

When should my child start practising 11+ past papers?

Build core skills in Year 5 first — mental arithmetic, vocabulary and reasoning patterns — then introduce full timed past papers from spring of Year 5 or early Year 6. Starting too early with full papers can demoralise children who have not yet mastered the underlying content. Two to three months of regular timed practice before the exam is typical.

What is the difference between 11+ past papers and AI practice?

Official past papers show the exact question styles, timing and difficulty your child will face on exam day — but each paper can only be used once effectively. AI-generated 11+ practice on CampusO₂ provides unlimited fresh questions styled on GL Assessment and CEM formats, with instant feedback on weak topics. The best preparation combines both.

Are 11+ past papers free on CampusO₂?

Yes. Browse and download official 11 plus past papers and mark schemes at no charge. You can also sign up for unlimited AI-generated 11+ practice in Maths and English, styled on real exam formats, with instant feedback — free to start.

How many 11+ past papers should my child complete?

Quality matters more than quantity. Aim for one full timed paper per week during the final two to three months before the exam, with thorough review of every mistake. Six to ten well-reviewed papers often beats twenty papers rushed without learning from errors. Use AI practice to fill gaps between official papers.

Can I browse 11+ past papers by subject and exam board?

Yes. From this page, choose a subject — such as Mathematics or English — then filter by exam board and year. This helps you find papers that match your target grammar school's test provider and focus revision on the subjects and question types that matter most for your region.
