11 plus maths: what's tested and free maths papers

Every one of the seven English areas covered here, and Northern Ireland, tests maths, but in different ways. In Essex it's a 60-minute paper worth half the marks, in Buckinghamshire and the West Midlands it shares a paper with other sections and counts for a quarter, and Medway gives it its own 50-minute paper. Free 11 plus maths papers come from GL Assessment, the CSSE and SEAG.

What's in 11 plus maths papers in each area?

Few of these areas publish a topic list. The CSSE says its maths test is based on Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum. Warwickshire says the West Midlands test closely follows the curriculum but may go beyond what children are expected to reach by the end of Key Stage 2. SEAG lists numbers, measurements, shape and space, money, probability and data.

AreaMaths in the test
BuckinghamshireOne paper of maths and non-verbal reasoning, about 45 minutes. Maths is 25% of the score
Birmingham and WarwickshireA maths section in one of two 60-minute papers. 25% of the score

Can you use a calculator?

No. Birmingham's rules ban calculators, and the CSSE doesn't allow electronic calculators of any kind. In Birmingham, rough paper isn't allowed either: working out goes in the question booklet. So practise mental and written methods.
