What vocabulary does the 11+ test?

VR papers often test synonyms, antonyms, odd-one-out and word meanings. English papers test comprehension vocabulary in context. KidSmart covers both with curated word lists aligned to 11+ level.

At what age should we start 11+ vocabulary prep?

Many families begin in Year 4 or early Year 5. Starting earlier with short, consistent practice builds reading fluency and word depth without pressure.
