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 2025, 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 2025?

Because that is the most recent set the CSSE has published. The March 2026 cut-offs come out in mid October 2026 and will replace them. 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.

Want the trend to bend upwards?

A marked mock every term is included in Uplift Premium, and the weekly work is set from the topics a child drops marks on. Or book a free 20-minute call and I will read the trend with you.
