Yes, at £9.99 per month, my11plus.uk is significantly more affordable than alternatives such as Atom Learning (£15-20 per month) and private tutoring (£30-60 per hour). The platform provides unlimited practice across all subjects with real-time progress analytics.

Question 5

What is the 11+ standardised age adjustment?

Accepted Answer

The standardised age adjustment (sometimes called age penalty) is a statistical correction applied to raw 11+ exam scores to ensure fairness between older and younger children within the same Year 5 cohort. A child's exact age in months at the date of the test is used to marginally adjust their score, so summer-born children are not disadvantaged compared to autumn-born peers.

Question 6

Is the 11+ exam the same for every grammar school?

Accepted Answer

No, the 11+ exam varies by school and region. Grammar schools use different exam boards including GL Assessment (used in Kent, Essex, and parts of London), CEM (used in Buckinghamshire and some Midlands schools), and SET (used by the Sutton consortium including Wilson's School and Sutton Grammar). Each board tests different skills in different formats.

Question 7

When should my child start preparing for the 11+ exam?

Accepted Answer

Most education experts recommend beginning focused 11+ preparation in Year 4 (age 8-9), approximately 12-18 months before the test date. This allows time to build core skills in Maths and English while gradually introducing exam-specific techniques for speed and accuracy without excessive pressure.

Question 8

What is the difference between GL Assessment and CEM 11+ exams?

Accepted Answer

GL Assessment exams are multiple-choice and typically test Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning in separate, timed papers. CEM exams are designed to be less predictable and harder to prepare for, combining English comprehension, vocabulary, and mathematical reasoning into mixed-format papers. GL Assessment is used in Kent, Essex CSSE, and the Sutton SET consortium, while CEM is used in Buckinghamshire and parts of the Midlands.
