English, Maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, matched to the test format in your area. Lessons cover comprehension, vocabulary, problem solving, question types and timed practice.
Many families start in Year 4 or early Year 5, which leaves time to secure Key Stage 2 skills before timed papers. Starting later in Year 5 still helps, with more focus on question types and timing.
Yes. Tutors prepare students for independent school entrance tests and interviews, as well as grammar school 11+ tests. Lessons follow the format of the schools you are applying to.

Parent's handbook
Get matched with a tutorA parent's guide to the 11+
How the 11+ works, the dates that matter, grammar and independent schools, and planning the preparation.
How the 11+ works
The 11+ is a selection test for grammar schools and some independent schools. There is no single national test: each area, consortium or school sets its own, so the subjects, format and pass mark vary. Most include some mix of English, Maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.
Grammar schools are state schools, so there are no fees, but only some areas of England have them. Many areas use age-standardised scores, so children born later in the school year are not at a disadvantage.
- Grammar schools
- State schools that select by ability
- Subjects
- English, Maths and reasoning, varying by area
- Scores
- Often age-standardised
- Independent schools
- Usually set their own tests
Key dates in the 11+ year
Dates vary by area, so check the admissions pages of your local authority and the schools you are considering, ideally early in Year 5. The pattern below is the most common one for grammar school entry, and the application deadline and offer day are the same across England.
- Year 5, spring or summer
- Test registration opens
- September, Year 6
- The 11+ test in most areas
- 31 October
- Deadline for secondary school applications
- 1 March
- National Offer Day
Grammar or independent school entry
Grammar school places are usually decided by the test score, then by each school’s admission criteria, such as distance. Passing the test is not the same as getting a place, so list your preferences carefully on the local authority form.
Independent schools usually set their own entrance tests during Year 6, often with an interview, and some add a reference from the current school. Check each school’s format early, because preparation differs: some test reasoning, while others set their own English and Maths papers.
- Grammar
- Test score, then admission criteria
- Independent
- Own tests, often an interview
- Applications
- Grammar schools go on the local authority form
When to start and the final months
Many families start in Year 4 or early Year 5. That leaves time to secure KS2 Maths and English before adding reasoning and timed papers. Starting late in Year 5 still helps, but more time goes on question types than on the skills underneath.
In the summer before the test, a good weekly rhythm is one timed paper in your area’s format, marked together, plus a short list of errors to redo a week later. Keep practice short and steady in the final weeks, so your child arrives rested.
- Year 4
- Times tables, reading and spelling
- Year 5
- KS2 content plus reasoning question types
- Summer before Year 6
- Timed papers each week
- Final weeks
- Short sessions and plenty of sleep
How Tutero works
Your child keeps the same tutor every week, and lessons start from their own school work and your area’s test format. Lessons are 1-to-1, and you receive a written report after every lesson, so you always know what was covered and what comes next.

Curriculum guide
Get matched with a tutorThe 11+, step by step
What 11+ students work on at each stage, and how a tutor helps.

Year 4
- Times tables
- Written methods
- Reading for meaning
- Spelling and vocabulary

Year 5
- Comprehension
- Fractions and percentages
- Vocabulary
- Timed practice
Sample comprehension answer
It shows he did not want to go in, so his fear of the house is stronger than his curiosity.
How a tutor helps

Verbal reasoning
- Word codes
- Letter sequences
- Synonyms and antonyms
- Odd one out
Worked example
Which word is the odd one out: oak, ash, rose, elm?
