Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PrepTicks

What is the 11+ exam?

The 11+ is a selective entrance exam taken by children in Year 5 or 6 to gain admission to grammar schools. In Kent it's called the Kent Test (GL Assessment) and in Bexley it's the Bexley Selection Test (Quest Assessment).

What subjects are tested?

Both the Kent Test and Bexley Test cover Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. PrepTicks has practice tests for all four subjects.

Is PrepTicks free to try?

Yes! You get a full 14-day free trial with access to all practice tests, your dashboard, and explanations. No credit card required to start.

How is PrepTicks different from other 11+ platforms?

We have a huge bank of expert-crafted questions so your child never sees the same test twice. We also offer instant results with step-by-step explanations and a smart dashboard that identifies weak areas automatically.

What age should my child start preparing?

Most children begin 11+ preparation in Year 4 or early Year 5. Starting 12-18 months before the exam gives enough time to build confidence across all subjects.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. The dashboard shows overall scores, subject breakdowns, topic-level readiness, streaks, and study time. You can see exactly where your child is strong and where they need more practice.

Do you cover both GL and Quest?

Yes. PrepTicks covers both GL Assessment (used for the Kent Test) and Quest Assessment (used for the Bexley Test). You can practise either style from the practice page.

How much does it cost compared to a tutor?

Private 11+ tutors typically charge £50-80 per hour. PrepTicks Pro is £9.99/month (or £79/year) for unlimited practice across all subjects — that's less than the cost of a single tutoring session.

When is the Kent Test?

The Kent Test typically takes place in September each year for children in Year 6. Registration usually opens in the spring. Check the Kent County Council website for exact dates.

Can my child use PrepTicks on a tablet or phone?

Yes! PrepTicks works on any device with a web browser — desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. It's also available as an app on Google Play.

How many questions are available?

PrepTicks currently has over 4,000 expert-crafted questions across all four subjects, with new questions added regularly.
