11 Plus and Entrance Exams

The 11+ exam is a selective entrance test used by grammar schools and some independent schools in the UK to determine which students are eligible for admission. Taken by students in their final year of primary school (typically around age 10 or 11), the exam assesses a range of skills, including English, mathematics, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning.

Rurera helps students prepare for the 11+ exam by offering tailored practice tests, expert-led tutorials, and detailed feedback that covers all key subjects—English, mathematics, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning. The platform provides customizable study plans, tracks progress, and offers exam strategies to build confidence and reduce stress.

To register your child for the 11+ exam, you typically need to apply directly to the schools you are interested in or through your local education authority. The registration process usually involves filling out an application form and, in some cases, paying a registration fee. Deadlines for registration vary by region and school, so it's important to begin the process early to ensure your child is registered before the cutoff date. Some schools may also have online registration systems, while others may require paper forms to be submitted.

11+ exam preparation includes English, Maths, and Reasoning (if applicable), the core subjects assessed in the exams. Our expert tutors offer thorough guidance and practice to ensure your child is well-prepared in all three areas.

No, Rurera is designed to be intuitive and easy for children to use on their own. The platform encourages independent learning, helping your child build confidence as they navigate and complete their studies without needing constant assistance.

The results of the 11+ exam are typically released in late October or early November, depending on the exam board or school administering the test. The timing of the results allows parents and students to know whether they have been offered a place at their chosen school in time to plan for the next academic year. Each school or local authority will provide specific details on when and how results will be communicated, so it’s important to stay informed and check for any updates.

The 11+ exam is typically taken in September or October of a student's final year of primary school, when they are around 10 or 11 years old. This timing allows schools to use the results to offer places for the next academic year, beginning the following September. Some areas may have slightly different testing dates, so it's essential for parents to confirm the specific dates with their local education authority or the schools they are applying to.

Students who sit an Eleven Plus Exam will receive a standardised score for each paper they sit. Standardised scores are usually between 70 and 140, but again, these can vary across different areas and schools.
