The 11PlusSwot Advantage has been guiding over 45,000 parents, teachers and tutors through the 11+ maze since 2004. We know what works and gives your child the best chance of succeeding in the 11 Plus.
The site has evolved several times during that period to ensure we offer up to date and relevant information.

It's import that you have up to date resources so you are well prepared. Check out our blog post on the 5 vital resources you should be using.
What's New?
In our latest update, our experts have been working on our brand new Test Centre, where we have even more questions added to our vast question bank which covers all aspects of the different types of entrance tests that schools require. There's also a new 'Topic Genius' section, which allows your child to practise one particular topic at a time. This helps your child excel in areas where they once lacked confidence. A small selection of the Topics included is listed below:
- Algebra
- Decimals
- Fractions
- Money
- Probability
- Powers
- Co-ordinates
- Codes
- Figure Analysis
- 3-Pair
- Double Sequence

The 11PlusSwot Advantage gives you access to tests on various topics, there are now over 200 How-To Tutorial Videos too. Parents can also watch these videos independently if they want to brush up on particular topics, maybe learn about a whole new topic or understand the latest teaching methods, techniques and tips (Premium and Platinum Level only).
These tutorials are an invaluable resource if you are considering home-tutoring your child yourself or just want to help your child when they get stuck. After online practice, during the Test Review Stage, if your child has answered a question incorrectly, they can click on our Answer Genie button for an immediate explanation of how to answer that particular type of question. So students can understand and learn from their mistakes when practising - a wonderful teaching aid and a cost effective alternative to hiring a private tutor.
Always being mindful of offering good value for money, we have focused on providing even more value with our multiple subscription levels to suit all needs and pockets. Why don't you benefit from the 11PlusSwot Advantage today?
Why Does Generic 11+ Testing Not Cut It Any More?
Back in 2004, we just offered generic multiple choice questions in English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal reasoning. Today this just won't cut it and could actually put your child at a disadvantage! Schools, consortiums and local authorities have different tests, in different formats, some in different subjects. We felt passionately that offering a child a simple generic multiple choice question just wasn't suitable preparation if their actual school 11+ exam asked for written answers or computer marked pages or had audio instructions, for example.
With the introduction of tests in Spatial Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Figure Analysis, Figure Recognition, NVR Pictures, Applied Reasoning, Continuous Writing and so on by some schools, we have updated with the times and now offer an even greater range of questions to suit your school.
You don't want your child to practise questions that will simply never come up in their chosen school's 11+ exam, nor do you want to miss any question types that definitely will!
So, if you are looking at grammar schools in Essex, Kent or Bucks for example, we have designed information packs and sample tests matching your school 11+ exam's subjects, format, style and timing as closely as possible. So familiarity is then developed with question types, your child gets a feel for timing and required speed and learns exam skills such as following instructions.
