What score does your child need for St John's School?

How to prepare for the St John's School 11+
- Start early and build the basics. Begin in Year 4 or 5 so there's time to master each subject before adding exam pressure. Little and often beats last-minute cramming.
- Practise each subject with real question types. Use the free papers above to get familiar with ISEB-style maths, english, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning questions and how they're worded.
- Find and fix the weak spots. Mark each paper, look for the topics that trip your child up, and give those extra focused practice rather than repeating what they already know.
- Sit full papers under timed conditions. Closer to the exam, work to the clock so pace and stamina feel normal on the day.
- Keep it calm and encouraging. Confidence matters as much as content — celebrate progress and keep sessions short and positive.
