- Words in context — English comprehension vocabulary
- Next steps — short drills on the gaps the check finds
How to use the result
- Note which question types were slow or guessed.
- Practise those families for 10 minutes a day — not a new 500-word list every week.

Is there a free 11 plus vocabulary test online?
Yes. KidSmart includes vocabulary checks inside a free trial — no credit card required. You get a clear sense of which word types your child already knows and which need work before VR and English papers.
What does an 11 plus vocabulary test cover?
Typical checks include synonyms, antonyms, odd-one-out and words in context. These mirror Verbal Reasoning and English comprehension questions used by GL, CEM and many grammar school papers.
How long does a vocabulary diagnostic take?
A focused set takes about 10–15 minutes. That is enough to spot patterns without turning the first session into a full mock.
What should we do after the test?
Practise the weak word families for a few minutes a day. KidSmart follows the diagnostic with synonyms, antonyms and context drills so the next check shows progress.
