11+ English papers test reading comprehension alongside technical English: spelling, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary. Most grammar and independent schools use the multiple-choice format from GL Assessment or a CEM-style provider, where children read a passage and mark their answers on a separate sheet. This free paper follows that format exactly, so the practice feels like the real thing.
The best way to use a practice paper is little and often. Give your child a calm 25 minutes, then mark it together with the answer key and talk through anything they missed. Reading widely between papers does more for comprehension than any worksheet, so it is worth pairing papers with regular reading.
Papers are brilliant for rehearsing exam day, but they run out fast. For everyday practice, the free Pip 11+ English app generates unlimited fresh questions that adapt to your child and mark themselves, so a finished paper is never the end of the practice. You can also browse all our free 11+ printables, or explore the full 11+ Info Hub for guidance on scoring, timing and exam day.
