Your 11+ preparation checklist
A calm starting point for planning practice with your child.
1. Know what you’re preparing for
- Confirm your target school’s admissions requirements directly with the school.
- Check the subjects, exam format and important dates with the admissions provider.
- Write down your child’s questions and what they would like help with.
2. Find a useful starting point
- Use the OGOLDING Maths and English diagnostic to guide initial practice.
- Look at strengths as well as areas that need more attention.
- Choose one manageable learning focus at a time.
3. Make a routine that fits
- Set aside regular, manageable practice time.
- Leave room for reading, rest and activities your child enjoys.
- Review explanations together rather than focusing only on scores.
4. Review and adjust
- Look at subject progress and skill mastery together.
- Revisit learning priorities as your child develops.
- Discuss areas that need support with your child’s teacher or tutor.
