What's tested
Most 11+ exams cover four areas: maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Our 11+ courses cover all four.
Which test will my child sit?
Most areas now use GL Assessment papers, including regions that previously used CEM — CEM withdrew from the 11+ and its consortium areas moved to GL. A few schools set their own papers, so check your target school's admissions page for the exact format.
When & how
The 11+ is usually sat at the start of Year 6 for grammar and independent schools, so most families prepare through Year 5. Little and often, with full mock papers near the date, works best.

Is PassNova Kids Zone free?
Yes — every Kids Zone course and game is completely free, with no sign-up and no adverts. A free parent/child account is optional and just saves progress and badges.
What ages is it for?
Kids Zone is built for ages 5–11 (Reception, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2), plus 11+ entrance-exam preparation for Years 5–6. Pick your child's year group above to see what fits.
Is it aligned to the school curriculum?
Yes. The courses follow the National Curriculum and the real assessments — the KS2 SATs, the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check and the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check, plus the now-optional KS1 tests and GL-style 11+ reasoning.
How can I support my child?
Short and often works best — 10 minutes a day beats an hour once a week. Let them choose a game when they have worked hard, talk through the explanation after a tricky question, and celebrate streaks and badges rather than scores.
Is it safe?
Yes — no third-party adverts, no chat with strangers and no data sold. Just friendly, focused practice. Track how your child is getting on anytime in the Parent Zone.
