CSSE Consortium 11+ Past Papers

The CSSE Consortium 11+ entrance exam typically includes English, Maths papers. Candidates sit timed written papers, usually combining a calculator and non-calculator section, alongside other subjects required by the school. Check CSSE Consortium's admissions page for the most current specification.

Most 11+ maths entrance papers from independent schools run for 60 minutes, though some — including scholarship papers — extend to 90 minutes. The time CSSE Consortium allows is printed on each paper's own cover, where the school printed one.

CSSE Consortium does not publish a fixed pass mark; entry is competitive and ranked relative to the cohort each year, so there is no percentage to aim for. The most reliable preparation is to sit several recent papers under timed conditions and work on the topics that cost marks.

Most 11+ entrance exams take place between early November and mid-January of the year of entry. CSSE Consortium sets its own date — confirm directly with the registrar after registering your child.
