Some publishers have access to the exam format and produce their own mirror papers which aim to replicate what an 11 Plus exam for Altrincham Gramamr School might look like.

We understand that these publishers get the information from familiarisation packs sent to parents, teachers, local tutors and pupils who have sat the test. The tests can of course change at any time and these papers only aim to give a good idea of what to expect, however, they are very useful and most parents use them at some point.

The ones we would suggest are from Learning Street. They are of high quality and cheaper than any others we have seen. Although they only cover English, Maths, and Creative Writing. They include the core skills required to perform well on these tests as the question types differ between exams.
