11+ Parent Readiness Checklist
Score your child's preparation out of 100, see the result turn red, amber or green, and find what to practise this week before doing more random papers.
Key Takeaways
- A mixed paper gives a score, but it does not always show the cause of weak performance
- The strongest 11+ plan starts with target school, baseline, mistakes, speed, and weekly focus
- Red means the prep is too random, amber means structure is forming, green means the plan is measurable
- Use the score to choose one clear focus for the next seven days
Most parents do not need another pile of 11+ papers. They need to know whether their child is weak in knowledge, timing, vocabulary, checking routines, or target-school fit. This interactive checklist gives each part of readiness a weight, then shows a score out of 100.
If your child scores below 40, start with diagnosis. From 40 to 74, build a clearer weekly plan around the top three gaps. At 75 or above, keep tracking trend, timing, and target-school readiness instead of simply adding more papers.

Start with the real gaps
The plan is probably too random. Find the cause before adding more worksheets or mock papers.
Weights are based on how much each item affects a useful weekly 11+ plan.
What your score means
| Score | Colour | Meaning | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-39 | Red | Preparation is probably too random. | Run a baseline and mistake audit before doing more papers. |
| 40-74 | Amber | There is some structure, but the weekly focus may still be unclear. | Choose the top three gaps and build a seven-day plan around them. |
| 75-100 | Green | Your child has a clearer preparation system. | Track trend, timing, and target-school readiness every week. |
