Questions
Questions parents ask.
Straight answers about the free test, prices and how practice works.
Can we try it before paying?
Yes. The free test needs no card and takes about 15 minutes. A free account keeps the results and unlocks three starter topics.
Are these real exam papers?
No. Every question is written for Kestrel. We practise the same kinds of skills that 11+ tests cover, but we never copy exam board or school papers.
Which pass should we choose?
Term Pass (£39 for 3 months) suits a late start or a trial run. Exam Year Pass (£99 for 12 months) covers a full year up to the exam. Both are one-off payments.
Does it work on a tablet?
Yes. Practice works on tablets and laptops. Diagram questions are easiest on a larger screen.
Will Kestrel get my child a place?
Nobody can promise that. Kestrel helps children practise regularly, get used to timed questions and understand their mistakes.
