The Ice on Harrow Mere · Paragraph 1Jonah had promised his mother he would stay on the path, and for most of the morning he had meant it. The frost had turned the fields to iron and every blade of grass stood up stiff and white, so that walking across them sounded like walking on breakfast cereal. Tilly ran ahead as she always did, nose down, tail going like a metronome, and Jonah followed with his hands pushed deep into his sleeves.
According to paragraph 1, what had Jonah promised his mother?
Which group of words contains a spelling mistake? Choose N if there is no mistake.
The village _____ under three metres of ash in a single night.
That is 3 of the 200 questions. Every one of the rest is marked the same way, with the worked solution and the mistake behind each wrong answer.

A worked solution for every question
Three real questions from the pack, with the explanation exactly as it appears in the mark scheme, one Bronze, one Silver, one Gold.
Which group of words contains a punctuation or capital letter mistake? Choose N if there is no mistake.
Missing apostrophe in the contraction: "wasn't" (short for "was not"), not "wasnt".
In 1883, the eruption _____ almost the whole island in a single day.
"In 1883" places the sentence in the past, so the past tense "destroyed" is needed.
Why Your Town Still Needs Its Library · Paragraph 5That last sentence is the one that matters, because the argument for closing libraries always begins in the same place: nobody borrows books any more. It is true that fewer people do. It is also beside the point. A library stopped being a cupboard for books a long time ago, and the people who use it every day already know that, even if the people who fund it do not.
The writer says a library "is cheap in the way that a vaccine is cheap" (paragraph 5). What does this comparison suggest?
A vaccine costs money now and saves money later, in illnesses that never happen, the saving cannot be seen directly.

We check the answers before you have to.
Most 11+ material asks you to take the answer key on trust. Ours is machine-checked and the check is tied to the questions by a content hash, edit a question and the build refuses to produce the pack until it has been verified again. That is a gate in the build, not a promise on a sales page.

The 11+ English paper. Comprehension, spelling, punctuation and grammar are the skills 11+ English tests assess, and every question here is multiple choice against the clock. If your child's school sets written answers in English, use these to build accuracy and speed, then practise longer written answers on that school's past papers.
What is in each test?
One passage with comprehension questions, then sets of spelling, punctuation and grammar questions. The passage changes type from test to test: Fiction, Non-fiction, Persuasive and Poem.
How is it marked?
It marks itself the moment your child finishes, shows the score for each section and lists the topics to review, with a worked solution and a teaching note for every question.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It's a link that opens in the browser on a laptop, tablet or school Chromebook. The PDF is a normal download.
How long do I have access?
Permanently. It's a one-off purchase, not a subscription, and the PDF is yours to keep and reprint.
