11+ Mock examinations - bookings now open for October and November 2025 mock examinations

Rhyanne, July 16, 2025

With the 11+ entrance examinations fast approaching, we are delighted to confirm the dates of our Mathematics, English and Reasoning mock examinations that will take place in October and November 2025.

Furthermore, with a number of independent schools in the local area having changed their 11+ examination to a Quest Assessment, we are pleased to introduce new Quest-style mock examinations.

The mock examinations are modelled on 11+ entrance examination papers to Independent Schools in the area.

All our 11+ mock examinations are written by our tutors in house and are facilitated and marked by our Lead Tutors for each subject.

About the 11+ mock examinations

The Mathematics mock examination papers are written by Vivek Gathani, our Lead Mathematics Tutor and qualified teacher who helped write and mark the 11+ entrance examination papers when teaching at Haberdashers' Boys' School.

The English mock examination sessions are led by Kishan Ganatra, our Lead English tutor and qualified teacher. Having completed his PGCE in English (Secondary) at the UCL Institute of Education, Kishan is in his third year of teaching at Trefoil. Kishan is a scholar of Haberdashers’ Boys’ School and a graduate of the University of Nottingham with a BA (Hons).

The Reasoning mock examination papers are written by Rebecca Wolffe, our Lead Reasoning Tutor and qualified teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience as well as an in-depth understanding of the North London grammar and independent schools.
