GL 11+ mock exam explained
What is a GL Assessment-style 11+ mock exam?
A GL Assessment-style mock is a timed practice examination covering the core skills commonly prepared for in GL-style 11+ routes: English, mathematics, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. It gives Year 5 children experience of working independently across several assessed areas in one supervised session.
Original GL Assessment-style practice
Knowledge Quay uses original practice material designed around relevant skills and exam conditions. It is not an official GL Assessment paper, and Knowledge Quay is not affiliated with or endorsed by GL Assessment.
A detailed 11+ diagnostic report
After marking and quality checks, parents receive section scores, question-level analysis, topic strengths and gaps, revision priorities and written next-step recommendations.
The assessment
More than another practice paper at home
This mock is designed to test knowledge and exam-day readiness: timing, concentration, confidence and the ability to work independently in an unfamiliar setting.
English
Reading comprehension, vocabulary and language skills assessed under time pressure.
Mathematics
Arithmetic, problem solving and mathematical reasoning without tutor support.
Verbal reasoning
Word-based logic, patterns and reasoning in a timed assessment setting.
Non-verbal reasoning
Shape, sequence and spatial reasoning questions completed independently.
The final paper order, timings and supervised-break structure will be confirmed with the examination date. We do not publish guessed official timings or proprietary questions.

- Unfamiliar settingLearn to settle and focus away from home.
