11 Plus English

About 11 Plus English

11 Plus English tests key skills you’ll use everywhere: vocabulary, spelling, grammar, punctuation, comprehension and clear writing. Our short quizzes turn big topics into quick checks you can repeat often, making revision simple and effective. Practise little and often to build accuracy first, then speed.

Start by boosting descriptive choices in Adjectives, then sharpen sentence control with Adverbs. Sort words fast in Alphabetising, and expand vocabulary with opposites in Antonyms. Instant feedback shows what to revisit, and repeating a quiz after a few days helps knowledge stick.

Use the quizzes anywhere – phone, tablet or laptop – for homework top-ups, pre-test warm-ups and confidence boosts. Pair them with regular reading and short writing tasks to strengthen comprehension and style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 11 Plus English paper include?

Expect questions on vocabulary (synonyms and antonyms), spelling, grammar and punctuation, plus reading comprehension. Some schools also include a short creative writing task to assess planning and expression.

How should my child revise with these quizzes?

Two or three short quizzes a week works well. Aim for accuracy first, read the explanations, then repeat the same quiz after a few days. That spaced practice deepens understanding and improves scores.

Are the quizzes suitable for different exam boards?

Yes – they reflect common 11 Plus styles used across providers. Use results to target weaker areas and build familiarity with typical instructions and timings.
