Key 11+ exam Dates 2022
- April – Most grammar schools open registration in April/May and the deadline is generally around June or July for parents to register their child for the 11+ exam. However there is some variability, so it is important to check the precise dates with the schools you are applying to. Some counties such as Buckinghamshire automatically enter all primary children for the 11+ exam and parents can then choose to opt out to
withdraw their child from the process. - September – For most grammar schools, the 11+ exam will occur during the first two weeks in September 2021.

How much tutoring is needed to pass the 11 exam?
You need to prioritise these 11 plus preparation actions for your child:
- Famiiarizing themselves with the types of questions that could be asked
- Understanding each exam section format.
- Using 11 plus practice papers to improve their performance under exam conditions.
There are the logistical issues to for your to check: the location and date for the 11 plus exam. As important is to check the 11 plus paper formats that are used in your region and for your specific grammar school application.
Always remember, there is not a one size fits all solution! However, generally speaking, we advise no more than 12 months of tuition for the Eleven Plus. So, starting at the beginning of Year 5 is probably a good time. At the very latest, January of Year 5 for exams taking place in September of Year 6.
In summary, there is no precise answer about how much is the right amount. During term time, most tutors will hold a weekly session of between 60 to 90 minutes with additional homework set each week. In the holidays the tutor may also recommend extra sessions. This is especially important in the summer period leading up to the 11 Plus exams in Autumn.
