Maths

11 Plus Maths Papers

Nine multiple choice papers across the Key Stage 2 topics that grammar school tests lean on: arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratio, algebra, sequences, angles, area and volume, time, money and multi-step word problems. The written paper drops the multiple choice and expects working, like the second stage tests at selective schools.

Preparing for the Sutton grammar schools?

Applying to Wilson's School, Sutton Grammar, Wallington or the other Sutton area schools? Their first stage is the Selective Eligibility Test, two multiple choice papers in English and maths only, with no reasoning sections, and the schools publish no past papers at all. Our multiple choice maths and English papers above are ideal SET practice. For the second stage, which uses written papers rather than multiple choice, use the Maths Written Paper and the English Writing Paper: they mirror that format, working shown and one extended piece of writing. All WAJD papers are original, so your child never wastes time on questions they might meet again in the real test.

How to use a practice paper well

  1. Print the paper and find a quiet spot. Set a timer for the minutes shown on the front.
  2. Let your child work alone, in one sitting, circling answers on the paper itself.
  3. Mark it together with the answer sheet. Celebrate what went right first.
  4. For each wrong answer, read the explanation aloud and have your child rework the question.
  5. Come back to the tricky question types a few days later with our free targeted test and revision cards.

Why families use WAJD papers

These papers exist because getting hold of good practice material used to mean paying for it. Read the story behind them, and why a checked paper beats a chatbot's, in why we made our 11 Plus papers free.

Answers that teach

Every answer sheet explains the method in child-friendly words, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson rather than a lost mark.

Original and fair

All questions are written by WAJD Academy in the GL multiple choice style. Nothing is copied from real exams, so practice stays honest.

Genuinely free

Papers and answer sheets download with no sign up, no email address, no ads and no card details, ever. Print as many copies as your family needs, and send them to anyone you like.

Looking for your region's official papers?

Every selective area also publishes official familiarisation material. Our free 11 Plus guide links you straight to the official source for your region, from GL Assessment and CSSE to AQE in Northern Ireland, and our past papers hub covers every exam board beyond the 11 Plus.

Questions parents ask

Are these 11 Plus exam papers really free?

Yes. Every paper and every answer sheet is a free PDF download with no sign up, no email address and no ads. No card details, ever. Print and share the papers freely for personal, non-commercial use.

Do the papers come with answers?

Yes. Each paper has a separate answer sheet that gives the correct letter for every question and a short explanation of how to work it out. The answer sheets download free too, with nothing to sign up for.

What style are the papers written in?

Multiple choice with five options per question, in the style used by GL Assessment, the test provider for most selective areas. They are original WAJD Academy papers, not copies of any real exam.

Which subjects are covered?

All four 11 Plus subjects: maths, English comprehension with spelling, punctuation and grammar, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, plus a written maths paper and an extended writing paper in the second stage style. That is 1,010 questions and 8 writing tasks across 40 papers: ten in each subject.

Are there papers for the Sutton schools, such as Wilson's?

Yes. The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test is multiple choice English and maths, so use our maths and English multiple choice papers for stage one. For the second stage, the Maths Written Paper and English Writing Paper mirror the written format those schools use. All of it is original WAJD material, since the Sutton schools publish no past papers.

How hard are the papers?

They sit at the level of a well-prepared Year 5 child, and each subject ramps up. Papers 1 to 3 in every subject are the standard set. The papers marked stretch are deliberately harder: in maths, bigger numbers and multi-step questions covering order of operations, negative numbers, fraction addition, percentage change and speed; in English, deeper inference, writers' technique and harder grammar such as clauses, voice and the subjunctive; in verbal reasoning, letter series whose jumps grow, codes where letters take turns moving forwards and backwards, and two-step number rules; in non-verbal reasoning, rules that change two things at once and rotations at diagonal angles. Inside every stretch paper the hardest questions carry a small Stretch label, so children know when to slow down and parents can see at a glance which questions to review together.

Will there be more papers?

Yes. There are ten papers in each of the four subjects and new papers are added free. If you want practice that adapts to the areas where your child dropped marks, a free WAJD Academy account adds targeted tests, but the papers never need one.

The papers need no account. A free one adds targeted practice that adapts to your child's weak areas, and keeps track of what they have mastered.
