11 plus practice papers that mark themselves

• GL Assessment-style papers. 50 questions in 50 minutes, one answer each, with number questions most often.
• Quest-style papers. 20 questions in 20 minutes, with five options and some questions that take more than one answer. Quest-style 11+ maths format.
• Topic drills. Short sets aimed at one thing — fractions, ratio, area, word problems — as long or as short as you have time for.
• Daily practice. A handful of questions that change as your child answers, so the paper adapts rather than repeats.

The two styles follow what GL Assessment and Quest Assessments publish about their tests. Kudos is independent of both, and no question is taken from either company’s papers. Your school’s admissions page says which test your child will sit.

A downloaded paper tells you a score. It does not tell you why the score was what it was, and that is the part that changes the next attempt. Somebody still has to mark it, work out which mistakes share a cause, and find more questions on exactly that.

Kudos does those three steps itself. Every question is marked as it is answered, every wrong answer comes with a worked explanation written for a ten-year-old to read alone, and the misconception behind it is recorded so the next questions can go after it.

The moment a mock ends you get a breakdown: accuracy overall and by topic, time per question, and the mistakes behind the wrong answers, most frequent first. Every paper is kept on the progress page, so you can see whether the scores are really moving.

Wrong answers are kept and can be revisited later, which is usually worth more than a fresh paper.

Short and frequent beats long and occasional. A sensible rhythm for most families is daily practice of a few minutes, one topic drill on whatever the reports flag, and a full timed mock every few weeks so exam pace stops being a surprise.

If your child is starting from further back, the weekly course walks through the whole 11 plus maths syllabus in order and ends each week with a quiz, so the mocks come after the teaching rather than instead of it. You can also explore the 11+ maths syllabus, topic by topic for videos, worked examples and questions to try.

Not sure which test your child will sit, or when? The 11 plus exam, explained covers what the papers contain and how the timetable usually works. Tutors can be linked to a child’s account and set papers themselves — Kudos for tutors.
