The complete Quest Arena worksheet library.

The Quest Arena 11+ worksheet library, in full

Every worksheet on this page is completely free — no subscription, no paywall, and no sign-up required to download. The library is built to mirror the shape of a real GL Assessment paper: multiple-choice questions, tight timings, no calculator, and a separate OMR (optical mark recognition) answer sheet so your child gets used to transferring answers under pressure. Below is a plain-English guide to what the library covers, how the difficulty tiers work, and a simple weekly routine you can follow from Year 4 right through to exam week.

The five subject areas we cover

Most UK 11+ exams test four core skill areas, and Quest Arena adds a dedicated SPaG strand (spelling, punctuation and grammar) because it underpins the English paper and is where a lot of easy marks are won or lost. Each subject is worth exploring in its own right:

• English — reading comprehension across fiction, non-fiction and poetry, plus vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms and inference. This is often the widest-ranging paper.
• Maths — arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, geometry, measures and multi-step word problems, all pitched at KS2 depth and beyond.
• Verbal Reasoning — word-based logic: letter and number sequences, codes, analogies, odd-one-out and the classic "hidden word" style questions.
• Non-Verbal Reasoning — shape and pattern puzzles: rotations, reflections, series, matrices and spotting the odd figure out, all done without words.
• SPaG — targeted drills on tricky spellings, apostrophes, homophones, sentence types and punctuation accuracy that lift the English score.

How the four difficulty tiers work

Every worksheet is labelled with one of four tiers so you can match the challenge to where your child is today, not to their school year on paper. The tiers are a ladder — start where the work feels achievable with a bit of effort, then climb.

Tier	Typical year group	What it builds
Foundation	Year 4	Confidence with the basics and question formats
Developing	Year 5	Speed and accuracy on familiar topics
Secure	Year 6	Reliable exam-level performance under timing
Greater Depth	Year 6 stretch	Grammar-school and scholarship-level challenge

Because GL results are reported as an age-adjusted Standard Age Score (where 100 is the average for a child's exact age in months), there is no fixed "pass mark" you can drill towards. What matters is steady, timed practice across all four skill areas — which is exactly what the tier ladder is designed to give you.

A free weekly practice routine that works

Little and often beats occasional marathons. Around three to four short sessions a week keeps momentum without burning your child out. Here is a balanced week you can start this weekend, entirely free:

1. Session 1 — English & SPaG. One comprehension worksheet plus a short SPaG drill. Read the passage twice before answering.
2. Session 2 — Maths. One timed worksheet at your current tier. Redo any wrong questions the next day, not on the spot.
3. Session 3 — Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning. Alternate each week so both get regular attention over a month.
4. Session 4 (optional) — mixed review. Pick the weakest topic from the week and repeat one worksheet, always using the OMR sheet.

Mark every worksheet with the included Answer Key and keep a simple note of which topics come up wrong. That error log — not the raw score — is the single most useful thing you can build over a term. When a tier starts to feel easy, step up. When your child can complete full mock papers comfortably, book a centre mock for a realistic exam-hall rehearsal, and check the key 11+ dates so registration deadlines never sneak up on you.

Where worksheets fit alongside everything else

Worksheets are for building and repairing skills; mocks are for testing them under real conditions. Use this library for day-to-day practice, then turn to the revision hub to shore up specific topics, the exam guides to understand how each paper is structured, and the grammar schools directory to see exactly which board and format your target schools use. Everything here — worksheets, answer keys, OMR sheets, guides and mocks — is free, forever.
