11+ Mock Exams for Kendrick GL-style 11+ candidates

Skip to Mock Exam Venues and Dates

In 2024, SDE’s 11+ Mock Exams for Kendrick Candidates are taking place in the following locations:

• Earley Crescent Resource Centre, Warbler Drive, Reading, RG6 4HB; and
• The Forest School, Robin Hood Lane, Winnersh, RG41 5NE

The test papers for these Sessions are written by Susan Daughtrey Education to help students who are preparing to write the GL Assessment Kendrick 11+ tests in September 2024.

child does not see the same questions twice.

How many Sessions do you offer?

There are seven Sessions: Sessions A – G.  Each letter denotes a unique set of questions so please only book each letter for your child once.

Most parents book all seven Sessions and use the SDE 11+ Mock Exams as part of their child’s final preparation for the 11+ exam.

Can I combine these Mock Exams with other Mock Exams run at other venues?

Please note that, due to the similarities between the GL test paper content, even where the format is different, our Mock Exam papers for Kendrick, Buckinghamshire, Slough and Henrietta Barnett contain some of the same questions across each Session letter.

We therefore strongly discourage booking Mock Exams of different types with the same Session letter. For example, we would advise against booking both Session A for Kendrick candidates and Session A for Buckinghamshire or Slough candidates. Instead, we would suggest booking one Session A, and one of our other Session letters, B-G.

The SW Herts and Latymer format exams are completely unique and can be booked with any combination of other exams.

Our website is configured to stop you raising an order with repeat questions as part of the same transaction.

What is the agenda for each Session?

At each Session we will emulate, as far as reasonably practicable, your child’s most likely experience on the day of the real GL Assessment 11+ Kendrick tests.  To this end, in each location our GL Assessment-style 11+ Mock Exams (for Kendrick 11+ candidates), include the following features:

• Two test papers:
  • Test Paper 1 is a verbal reasoning test comprising: (a) comprehension; (b) cloze (multiple choice, GL-style); (c) technical English (proof reading); and (d) verbal reasoning questions (typically from the ’21 Types’ of verbal reasoning question);
  • Test Paper 2 comprises: non-verbal reasoning (including spatial reasoning) sections and a maths section.
• Each test contains 45 minutes of questions.
• The tests are multiple choice with a question paper and separate multiple-choice answer sheet.
• The tests are administered using audio administration and the test papers contain separately timed sections.
• Prior to each timed Section within the test paper, the Instructions for the questions in that Section and an example of each type of question are presented (and read out audibly by the audio administration) and there is then a short period to attempt several practice questions (the answers to which are subsequently read out by the audio administration).

What is Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition®?

All SDE 2024 GL-style 11+ Mock Exams include the unique and innovative Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® service as standard.

Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® is a significant video production and IT project, involving the creation of more than 3000 short video tutorials, each typically 1-4 minutes in length, together with an online video streaming platform, so the video tutorials can be watched by you and your child at home.  We have created a video tutorial for every question on our series of seven Kendrick GL-style 11+ Mock Exams (as well as many of our other exam formats used in other areas).

Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® is designed to target your child’s individual learning needs.  For each question your child answers incorrectly on the tests our bespoke online software (accessed via your secure parent login to the SDE website) will provide you with access to:

• Your child’s wrong answer selection;
• A link to a short video tutorial, devised and narrated by Susan Daughtrey M.Ed, which can be streamed from home and which includes the following:
  • The test question number, test question and multiple-choice answer options that appeared on the question paper;
  • Where relevant (e.g for VR questions), an explanation of the technique or method that Susan Daughtrey recommends your child uses to answer the question;
  • Where relevant (e.g for Maths questions), working out is shown on screen in a step-by-step fashion, with Susan Daughtrey explaining the process she recommends your child should follow to answer the question correctly; and
  • Finally, the correct answer is shown on screen.

You can pause, rewind and re-watch the video tutorials provided as part of the SDE 11+ Mock Exam feedback as many times as you like, until the 11+ exams in September 2024.

Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® has been devised with the specific objectives of giving your child the opportunity to: (a) learn from their mistakes; and (b) improve future exam performance.  This is a unique and innovative resource, which responds to your child’s individual learning requirements by identifying only the questions your child answered incorrectly on the test papers and addressing those wrongly answered questions through the deployment of a video tutorial.

This is simply a fantastic way to revise with your child and was described by one very satisfied parent, as a “game-changer”.

What other feedback can I expect after each Session?

Feedback is provided via a secure parent login to the SDE website.

This feedback includes (at a minimum):

• A Record Table™ which shows your child’s score in each element of the test papers, a total score for each test and a combined score for the two tests. Next to your child’s scores, we also provide the group average score to help you identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses, relative to the other candidates (there are usually many other students to compare your child’s results to as the Sessions are extremely popular);
• Group List of Scores – this list contains the anonymised scores of the students who have undertaken the same 11+ Mock Exam Session; and
• Access to the unique and innovative Susan Daughtrey 11+ Dynamic Video Tuition® service detailed above, so you can see exactly which questions your child answered incorrectly and your child has the benefit of Susan Daughtrey’s explanation of how best to answer the question.

A huge amount of work goes into producing high quality 11+ Mock Exam Papers so please be aware that, in order to protect our intellectual property and to ensure each paper is previously unseen by the students attending the Session, we do not release full Mock Exam papers.
