Frequently asked questions

What maths topics are tested in the 11+?

11 plus maths typically covers arithmetic, fractions, decimals and percentages, ratio, algebra, geometry, measures, data handling, sequences and multi-step word problems. GL Assessment, CEM and CSSE papers all draw from Year 5–6 National Curriculum content, but question style and pacing differ by exam board and region.

What is the difference between GL Assessment and CEM maths papers?

GL Assessment maths papers are usually clearly structured with a steady mix of topic-based questions — common in Kent, Buckinghamshire and many other regions. CEM maths is often embedded within mixed timed sections alongside English and reasoning, with less predictable topic order — used in areas such as Birmingham. Practise papers that match your target school's exam provider.

When should my child start practising 11 plus maths past papers?

Most families build core skills in Year 5 and introduce full timed papers from spring of Year 5 or early Year 6. Start with untimed practice to learn question types, then add strict timing at least two months before the exam. One official paper per week alongside shorter daily drills works well for most children.

How should we use 11 plus maths past papers effectively?

Complete one paper fully under timed conditions, mark every question immediately, and log errors by topic — fractions, algebra, word problems and so on. Revisit missed question types with targeted AI practice on CampusO₂ before moving to the next paper. Avoid repeating the same paper without reviewing mistakes.

How much weekly 11 plus maths practice is realistic?

Aim for 20–30 minutes of focused maths practice on most weekdays, plus one longer timed paper session at weekends during peak preparation in Year 6. Consistency matters more than long cramming sessions. Balance past papers with topic drills on areas flagged in your error log.

Browse 11 plus maths past papers by exam board — including GL Assessment, CEM, CSSE and regional formats where available. Choose the board that matches your target grammar school's admissions test, then filter by year to find question papers and mark schemes.
