Two papers, sat in the same session with a short supervised break. Each paper lasts approximately 60 minutes.
Paper One
English and verbal reasoning
Paper Two
Mathematics and non-verbal reasoning
The Weald 11+ Assessment covers English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. The best preparation is a strong grounding in school learning, combined with wide reading and the ability to apply knowledge to new contexts.
We've created a set of free resources to help your child understand what the test looks and feels like, and build confidence across all subjects ahead of exam day. These booklets provide sample questions so your child can become familiar with the question format and filling in an OMR answer sheet.
Written for children, this guide includes what the test is, how to handle nerves, what to do if they get stuck, and what to expect on the day.

Atom Home provides structured practice and KS2 learning across all subjects, with questions, progress tracking, and subject-specific learning paths your child can work through at home.

Your child will sit the Weald 11+ Assessment at Weald of Kent Grammar School.
The assessment consists of two papers, both sat in the same session with a short supervised break between them. Each paper lasts approximately 60 minutes, plus time for instructions. Your child will remain in the test environment during the break.
An invigilator will read instructions before, during, and after each paper. Your child will receive a question booklet and a separate answer sheet for each subject, and may also receive a reading booklet. If they cannot hear the instructions or have a question, they should put their hand up.
The total time in the test centre, including settling in, instructions, papers, and the break, is typically around two to three hours.
The Weald 11+ Assessment is a paper-based test. All questions are multiple choice, with your child selecting from a set of options (usually five: A, B, C, D or E).
Most Quest 11+ papers use an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) answer sheet. Rather than writing out answers, your child draws a horizontal line through a box next to their chosen answer.
The familiarisation materials include a practice OMR answer sheet, so your child can get comfortable with the format before test day.
Draw a clear, solid horizontal line through the chosen box.
Mark one answer per question unless the question specifically tells you there is more than one answer.
The familiarisation booklets include a sample OMR answer sheet.
Working through a few questions, practising marking answers, rubbing out, and checking question numbers match helps your child get familiar with how to complete an OMR sheet.
They should rub it out fully with a clean eraser, then mark their new answer.
A good eraser matters as much as a good pencil!
Results will be released in mid October 2026.
There are 270 Year 7 places available.
