Tutors FAQ
Are the questions relevant to the grammar school we are looking at?
Our Online Test Centre has test papers with questions similar to those used for your school entrance exam. It is therefore vital that before you sign up for your free account or paid subscription that you locate your desired school from our list. This will then enable you to choose the correct product from our shop geared towards your school you tutor for.
Why is it important to use resources that are tailored to the chosen school?
Back in 2004, we just offered generic multiple choice questions in English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal reasoning (as some other 11+ resource providers still only do). Today this just won't cut it and competition for places is fierce! As schools, consortiums and local authorities have different tests, in different formats, some in different subjects, we feel passionately that your pupils needs practice that is as close to the real exam as possible, building familiarity, confidence and speed.
Some schools require written answers, some multiple choice, some require computer marked pages to be completed or your pupils could be asked to follow audio instructions. New subjects, such as, Spatial Reasoning, Figure Analysis, Figure Recognition, NVR Pictures, Continuous Writing and so on have been added to exams and we have updated with the times.
You don't want your pupils 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!
Do you offer a FREE trial period?
We do! We want you to be absolutely sure you have made the right decision by trusting us with your 11+ requirements.
We therefore offer a FREE 7 day trial period where you can try out the full tests, downloads and resources.
Payment is only taken after the trial period. You can of course cancel at any time. If you cancel your subscription to a particular course (or Team) only that course payment will be cancelled. All of your pupils on that course (ie all members of that team) will loose access to the online test centre and associated resources.
Of course, you are able to rejoin at any point.
Access to the PDF downloads is limited during the trial until after the 7 days and payment has been taken.
What is the Test Centre?
The Test Centre is our cutting edge online testing centre where your pupils can take their 11Plus online tests. The tests have been specifically designed to match the school in layout, style and format so you know you are focused in on exactly what the school is looking for and it makes a great practice area where you can hone your skills before the real exam.
Tests can be taken multiple times and the results stored for later review and analysis.
If your child answers a question incorrectly during an online test, there is a direct link on the Test Review Page to our "How-To" videos explaining how to answer that particular type of question, so you are never far away from the solution and it's a wonderful learning aid.
over 200 How-To Video Tutorials are also available independently in the Online Test Centre, which offer tips, techniques and current teaching methods. These videos are a great study aid for students and for parents wanting to help their child or even home-tutor.
The Test Centre also offers our Topic Genius section, which enables your pupils to take shorter, topic-specific tests drawing from our data bank of over 45,000 questions. For example, if a child is weak in algebra or spatial reasoning, codes or spellings, they can build their confidence and strength in these areas.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. You can cancel any of the subscription levels at any time as there is no tie-in. You are always in control of how long you want your membership to last. Of course, when you do cancel, you will lose access to your downloads and the Online Test Centre and all the stored results and tracking for you and all of your pupils in that class (Team).

Trouble logging in?
Maybe you are used to seeing the original 11PlusSwot website? As you can see we have been busy upgrading the site - in fact a complete rebuild.
Fear not the original website is still there - https://prev.11plusswot.co.uk all your downloads and tests are still there.
Can I add multiple classes?
Yes! You are not restricted to a single class (Team). You will need to set up separate teams and add pupils to those teams as and when needed. You can remove pupils from the team which will reduce your licence usage by one allowing you to add new pupils under that licence.
You can extend your team count at any time to allow new pupils to join your class (Team) and just pay the difference.
