11+ English — common questions
What English skills does the 11+ test?
Reading comprehension is commonly the largest section (inference, vocabulary and retrieval). Grammar, punctuation, spelling and writing may also feature depending on your target school.
How do I improve my child's vocabulary for the 11+?
Wide reading is the most effective long-term strategy. Supplement with daily word learning and practise using words in sentences rather than memorising definitions.
Is creative writing in the 11+ exam?
Independent schools often include a writing task. Grammar school exams vary by area and provider.
How long should 11+ English preparation take?
Many families start 12–18 months before the exam. A consistent routine over time is more effective than occasional intensive periods.
