Frequently asked questions for parents
01Will I get the question paper back?
We will not be able to give the question paper back for this mock test.
However, you will be given online access to the test once the results are shared. You will be able to see all the questions and answers and compare them with your child’s answer sheet.
02What should my child bring to the test?
Please bring:
- 2 sharpened pencils
- An eraser
- A sharpener
- A clear water bottle
Everything should be placed in a clear pencil case.
03Will there be a break during the test?
Yes, there will be a 10-minute break between Paper 1 and Paper 2. Children can use the toilet and eat their snack during this time.
04Can my child bring a snack?
Yes, a small snack or piece of fruit (e.g. a chocolate bar or banana) can be brought and eaten during the break.
05What time should children be dropped off at the test centre?
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the test starts. There will be a registration desk near the reception area.
06Will someone be available to answer parents’ questions?
We aim to start the test promptly and on time, so we will not be able to address individual parent queries at the test centre.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please contact us on WhatsApp in advance.
07What is the duration of the test?
The full mock test, including the break, will take approximately 1.5 hours.
We recommend that parents return to collect their children at the given end time of the test
08Will my child be supervised throughout?
Yes, children will be fully supervised by our team throughout the test, including during the break.
09When will we receive the results?
We aim to provide the results, along with access to the test and tutorial, within 2-3 days of the test.
10What if I’m running late?
Unfortunately, your child may not be able to take the test, as there might not be anyone available to register late arrivals. We also aim to keep the environment calm and undisturbed once the test begins.
11Is there an alternative number I can call?
In an emergency, you may call 07824 690359 directly.
Unless it is urgent, please message the TestLife WhatsApp number first: 07555 978227. We will always call you back if needed.
Instructions for students
Please read these carefully and follow them during the test.
01Stay quiet and ask questions before the test
Be quiet at all times during the test. If you have any questions, try to ask them before the test starts.
02Raise your hand if something urgent comes up
If something urgent comes up during the test, raise your hand silently to let the instructor know. Do not speak out loud.
03Remain in your seat
You are not allowed to leave your seat, even if you finish a section early. Use any extra time to review your answers and check for mistakes.
04Remember that each section is timed
Each paper will have multiple timed sections. Once a section ends, you cannot go back to it, even if you missed questions.
05Skip difficult questions and move on
If you find a question too hard or confusing, skip it and move on. Some questions test how you manage your time, so do not spend too long on one question.
06Do not leave unanswered questions
If you are running out of time, quickly mark answers for any questions you have not solved in that section. A guessed answer is better than a blank one.
07Stay calm and do your best
Although we want this to feel like a real 11+ test, it is okay if you cannot solve every question. Stay calm, keep going and do your best.
08Use pencil only
Use pencil only. Do not use pens, highlighters or markers on the answer sheet.
09Listen to the invigilator
Listen carefully to all instructions given by the invigilator.
10Mark your answers clearly
Make sure you mark your answers clearly on the answer sheet, as shown in the example below.
How to mark your answers
Different exams may use different-looking answer sheets, but the method for marking answers generally remains the same.
This is a GL-style multiple-choice question (MCQ) test. Most questions require students to mark one correct answer. However, some questions may ask students to mark multiple answers from the options.
Here is an illustration showing how to mark your answers using three examples:

✓ Remember
- Use a pencil, not a pen.
- Cross out your answer clearly.
- Do not tick, shade or circle.
- Mark only the required number of answers.
- If you make a mistake, erase neatly and mark your new choice clearly.
