Parents searching for free 11+ practice online find a lot of results. A smaller number are genuinely useful. Here's an honest breakdown - what's actually free, what's a free trial that ends after 3 days, and what's worth your child's time.
GL publishes official familiarisation papers for each of their question types. Not full practice papers, but the format is accurate and it's a good starting point. Find them on the GL Assessment website.
Some regional 11+ consortia publish past papers or specimen papers on their websites. Worth checking your local consortium directly - availability varies hugely by region.
11plusapp.co.uk lets you practice 20 questions a day in guest mode without creating an account or entering a card number. Questions cover verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, maths and English, with explanations after every answer.
Atom offers a trial period - currently around 5 days depending on when you sign up. You need to enter card details. Good for testing the product, but the trial ends quickly and it moves to £60/month.
Bond has a few sample questions on their website. Useful to see the format, but not enough for regular practice without a subscription.
A lot of sites appear in "free 11+ practice" search results but are really just lead magnets. You fill in an email address, get a PDF, and then receive sales emails. That's fine if you know what you're signing up for - just worth knowing going in.
Random worksheet generators exist too. Quality is mixed. Some are fine for maths, less reliable for verbal reasoning question types, where the specific wording matters a lot.
The honest limitation of free practice: The best free resources give you exposure to the question format. They don't give you the volume of practice your child needs. Most 11+ prep advisors suggest 1,000-2,000 questions before the exam. You won't get there on free resources alone.
If your child is in Year 5 and sitting the exam in September, free practice probably won't be enough on its own. The volume of questions matters - repetition builds speed and familiarity, and both matter on exam day.
At £24.99 a month (or £179 for the year), 11+ Prep costs less than a single hour with most 11+ tutors. The 7-day full trial doesn't require a card number.
No account, no card, no expiry. Just open the app and start practicing. Or sign up for a full 7-day trial to unlock everything.
