❓ FAQs

Common questions

Everything parents ask before getting started.

The 11 plus is a selective entrance exam taken by children in Year 6 (aged 10–11) in England. It is used by grammar schools and some independent schools to assess academic ability. The exam typically covers four subjects: Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. In most areas, the exam is set by GL Assessment.

GL Assessment is the most widely used 11 plus exam provider in England, covering areas including Kent, Birmingham, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and many others. YoungLearners is built specifically around the GL Assessment format, with question styles, subject coverage, and timed mock exams that closely reflect what children will encounter on exam day.

Most experts recommend starting in Year 4 or Year 5, giving children 12–18 months of steady practice before the exam in September of Year 6. YoungLearners is designed to make daily practice manageable and enjoyable, so children can build skills gradually without the pressure of intensive cramming.

YoungLearners has over 100,000 practice questions covering all four 11 plus subjects: Maths, English (comprehension and SPaG), Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Questions are organised by topic and difficulty, and full timed mock exams are available for subscribers.

YoungLearners is built specifically around the GL Assessment format, which is used in the majority of grammar school areas in England. If your child is sitting a CEM exam, the Maths and English content will still be highly relevant, though the question styles for Verbal Reasoning may differ slightly from the CEM format.

Yes. The free plan gives children access to 10 practice questions per day, XP and streaks, and arcade games — no credit card required. A paid subscription unlocks unlimited questions, all four subjects, full timed mock exams, and a detailed progress dashboard.
