Practise pacing in a safe setting
Timed sections help children practise moving through a full paper, checking their work, and recovering when one question is difficult.
Timed 11+ mock practice, without the exam-day stakes
Full-length, timed mock practice helps children become familiar with working across sections and gives parents and tutors a concrete result to review.
Useful results, not just a total
Review results across subjects and topics so the next practice session can focus on what the mock actually revealed.
Practise a longer timed routine
Rehearsing common question styles, timed sections, and the Trace Learn interface can make the practice routine more familiar. Exact local tests can differ.
How it works
Schedule a mock
Choose a full mock when your child has covered enough of the core material to make the result useful.
Sit it under exam conditions
Use timed sections and a quiet setting to practise the habits needed for a formal test.
Act on the topic breakdown
Use the result to identify topics that deserve more teaching, practice, or another paper later.
Frequently asked questions
How is a mock different from a paper test?
A paper test focuses on one subject in one sitting. A mock combines several timed sections in one sitting and provides subject and topic result breakdowns for review.
When should my child sit their first mock?
There is no universal point. A mock is most useful after the child has met the relevant topics and question formats, when you want evidence about pacing, stamina, or a longer timed sitting.
Will the mock feel like the real GL exam?
The mocks use common GL-style question formats and timed sections for useful practice. Exact formats and admissions rules vary, so always check the current information for your target schools.
What if the result is disappointing?
Treat it as evidence, not a prediction. Review the topic breakdown, choose a small number of priorities, and return to another mock after focused practice.
Rehearse exam day before it counts
Start with the free diagnostic, then use completed work and local test information to decide when a longer timed practice session is useful.
