Build pacing and stamina with two full-timing Birmingham practice sittings based on the published shared West Midlands Grammar Schools test structure.
Which 11+ test do Birmingham grammar schools use?
Birmingham grammar schools are part of the West Midlands Grammar Schools partnership. For 2027 entry, the shared entrance test is provided by GL Assessment and uses two approximately 50–60 minute multiple-choice papers. Published subject areas are English comprehension, verbal reasoning, mathematics and non-verbal/spatial reasoning.
The published result weighting is 50% for English and verbal reasoning together, 25% for mathematics and 25% for non-verbal reasoning.
How Homework Magic practises the Birmingham format
Birmingham 11+ Full-Timing Mock 1 and Mock 2 each contain two one-hour mixed-skill sections. Across each sitting, the question mix keeps the published 50:25:25 balance so children can practise switching between skills as well as maintaining concentration.
Important: The live test's exact question count and section sequence are provider-controlled. These are original independent simulations, not copied or official GL Assessment papers.
