Method
- We started from each test's official admissions or test page and followed only the links it gives to practice or familiarisation material.
- We opened or downloaded every file on 27 September 2026 and recorded what it contains: a real past paper, familiarisation, sample questions, or a paid product; and whether it has answers.
- A resource is matched to a test only where that test's own page points to it. Where a school says it releases nothing, we show its own words instead of a substitute.
- We link to the publisher's copy. Nothing is copied or re-hosted.
Uncertainty and limits
- Publishers replace files each year; a link can move. Every card names its source page and the day we checked it.
- Kent County Council's site refused our automated check on 27 September 2026, so the Kent card links to its preparation page as read on 23 September 2026.
- Familiarisation shows the format and question types. It is not a guide to the difficulty of this year's paper.
Dates and versions
- Official 11+ and 13+ past papers, familiarisation materials and sample questions, by test: data version 2026-09-27.1, checked 27 September 2026.
- Page last changed 27 September 2026.
What the answer means
The answer says what the test's own publishers release: real past papers where they exist, otherwise official familiarisation, and whether you can mark it. It cannot tell you what will be in this year's test, and a mark on a sample is not a standardised score.
