11+ progress tracker

Enter each mock as it comes and see where the trend is heading by test day. CSSE results go on the real score scale, against the schools' cut-offs; GL results are tracked paper by paper against your target. Free, and it works without an account.

The trend

No results yet. Add the first mock above; with two the trend appears, and with three or more the cone narrows to the child's own consistency.

What it is doing

A trend, not a prophecy

CSSE mode

Each mock's two raw marks go through the CSSE's published formula, with the September 2025 means, spreads and age adjustment, exactly as in the calculator. A mock out of 50 is scaled to 60 first. Every point is therefore on the real scale, and the projection reads directly against the last score offered a place at each school in March 2026, which you choose above.

A mock is not the CSSE paper, so a point says where the child stands, not what they will score. Two mocks give a trend; three or more give a band the width of the child's own consistency.

GL mode

GL Assessment does not publish raw-to-standardised tables, and each area (Redbridge, Kent, Buckinghamshire, the independent schools) combines and weights the papers its own way. A site that gives you a GL score from a mock is guessing. So the tracker keeps to what a mock reports, a percentage per paper, projects each to the test date, and compares it with a target you set from what your area's qualifying score has looked like.

The GL guides teach each paper's question types; a percentage that is flat on one paper and rising on the others usually names the book to read next.

Questions

Questions parents ask

Is the projection a prediction?

No. It is a straight line through the child's own results, extended to test day, with a band for how spread out the results have been. It says what happens if the next months look like the last ones. Its use is the early warning: a flat line in March, six months out, is the time to change something.

Where do the results come from?

Any marked mock: ours, a school's, a book's. Enter the raw marks and the paper's maximum. For the CSSE the two papers are out of 60; a mock marked out of 50 is scaled. What matters for the trend is that the papers are of similar difficulty, which is why mocks from one source give a cleaner line than a mixture.

Where are the results kept?

In this browser, and nowhere else. No account is needed. If you do have a free account and choose a child, the results are saved against that child instead, so they follow them to any device and show on the dashboard; a child can add their own from their login.

Why do the school lines say March 2026?

Because that is the most recent set the CSSE has published, in October 2026: the last score offered a place at each school on 1 March 2026. The next set comes out in October 2027. They move by five to fifteen points a year, so a projection inside ten of a line is a coin toss, and the page says so.
