English that rewards careful reading
The English half checks retrieval, inference, vocabulary in context and language accuracy. Children must return to the passage or sentence evidence rather than guess from a familiar-looking word.
Give your child a useful, low-pressure introduction to Essex selection-test practice. The same 20 questions appear online and on the printable paper, so results can be reviewed consistently.
Free during public beta · No card requiredThe English half checks retrieval, inference, vocabulary in context and language accuracy. Children must return to the passage or sentence evidence rather than guess from a familiar-looking word.
The Maths half uses age-appropriate multi-step arithmetic, fractions, measures and reasoning. Explanations separate the method from the calculation so a child can see where a lost mark began.
After the final question, ElevenKey identifies the skill and selected misconception behind each lost mark. It then suggests a short repair plan instead of simply showing a score.
Begin untimed for understanding, or use the gentle 25-minute countdown when your child is ready to practise pace.
