What is the 11+ exam?The 11 plus or Eleven Plus is an exam taken by students in their final year of primary school (year 6) and is used to select students for admission into UK Grammar Schools.
-
What subjects are part of the 11+ exams?The subjects included in 11+ exams vary depending on the specific test and region. Typically they include English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
-
What is the 11+ pass mark?The pass mark is different in each LEA (Local Education Authority) and may vary from year to year. This is because there are only a set number of Grammar School places available, so the number of students passing each year needs to remain in line with the number of places available. You will be given your child’s Standardised Score (usually between 69 or 70 and 140 or 141) i.e not your child’s Raw Score (the number of questions your child got correct on the test). In some counties, where the eleven plus exam consists of more than one subject, the standardised scores are then weighted to give a final overall score. You will need to establish the standardised pass mark and weighting for your own region, but to give you an example, the pass mark in Bucks has been 121 in previous years.

When does the 11+ exam take place?11+ examinations take place in the autumn term, around September or October, prior to the academic year in which the student will start secondary school. The exact dates may vary depending on the school or region.
