Why These Gloucestershire 11 Plus Mock Exams Are Different
These mocks are designed specifically around the new Gloucestershire FSCE entrance test, rather than being generic 11 Plus papers with the Gloucestershire name added.
| Gloucestershire-specific feature | What this means for your child |
|---|---|
| Current Gloucestershire research | The mocks are designed around the new FSCE entrance-test format announced by the Gloucestershire Grammar Schools for September 2028 entry. |
| FSCE test structure | Each mock reflects the Adventure, Beacon and Compass paper structure. |
| Adventure practice | Children practise English and Maths through multiple-choice questions. |
| Beacon practice | Children practise producing short written English and Maths answers rather than selecting from answer options. |
| Compass practice | Children practise multiple-choice questions across the wider range of KS2 curriculum subjects that may appear in the Compass paper. |
| Broad subject coverage | The Compass paper helps children practise applying knowledge across Art & Design, Computing, Design & Technology, English, Geography, History, Languages, Maths, Music, PE and Science. |
| Different response formats | Children practise switching between multiple-choice questions and short written responses across the assessment. |
| Parent invigilation guidance | Instructions explain how to administer the different papers and sections independently at home. |
| Complete mock experience | Completing all three papers helps children practise the concentration, adaptability and stamina required across the FSCE assessment. |
| Detailed review | Answers and explanations help identify weaknesses in knowledge, accuracy, timing and exam technique across different subjects and response formats. |
