Our Mocks are designed to give students the best practice under exam conditions for their entrance exams. The exams are made in-house to reflect the standard and requirements of the schools in our area and will assess each of the topics and skills covered at all levels of primary testing and school entrance.
Familiarisation with long form exams and practice in a test setting are both invaluable preparation for students approaching their 11+ exams. Use their performance to track their progress and use our benchmarking scores to see if they're on track for success.

11+ Mock Test
Adaptable and tailored testing for 11+ consisting of English and maths with optional reasoning and listening components.
Our Mock Tests are all written in-house and, thanks to over 7 years of testing for a comprehensive cross section of schools, we have built up an excellent series of benchmarks for different entrance requirements. We are able to tailor any of our tests to the exact requirements of the student and provide an unmatched practice environment.
One of the chief benefits of Torchlight Mocks is that following the exams, you’ll be given extensive personalised feedback and papers marked in detail which will provide you with a full understanding of how well prepared the student is and more importantly what they can do in the final term to ensure they reach their peak for January. As well as grades and full marking, the feedback you receive will include: in-depth analysis of answers and how they could be improved; practice exercises to improve key skills including suggestions for work with your child’s tutor or at home; model answers to help you see where extra marks can be gained.

FAQs
If you have any questions at all about the content of the mock tests or how, when or where we deliver the tests, please have look at the FAQs below or contact directly in the office.
Where do the mock tests take place?
The Mock tests will all take place at Barnes Primary School in Barnes, South West London. Here is a map and details to reach the school.
What do students need to bring with them on the day?
Students can bring their own stationery but we will also provide all of this as required. We recommend that all students bring water and they can bring a snack, but please bear in mind that this is only to be eaten in the break and not during the tests! We always provide a small snack at the beginning of the break.
When will we get the results?
We aim to mark and return the papers by the Friday following the test weekend, though we are often able to return them well before this. We put a premium on careful, in-depth feedback, so we do ask for your patience in this regard.
How do I know what a 'good' result is?
We will ask for the student's target schools when you make the booking, so we will set the papers and mark in the context of these goals. In addition to this, we set target scores by assigning each school to one of three tiers determined by our years of experience testing. You can measure your son or daughter's results against these benchmarks.
If you select multiple mocks, we will also set specific topic goals to track progress.
Where do you get your papers from?
All of our papers are written in-house and we have the ability to tailor each exam to the needs of the student and the requirements of the selected school. For instance, if you require a multiple choice maths paper or an extra dictation exam, we will provide the appropriate paper.
Can my son/daughter have extra time?
We can absolutely make provisions for students who qualify for extra time. There is a small additional fee to cover the extra invigilation required, please contact the office for details.
Can my son/daughter take the test at home or online?
We are very happy to post you the papers to be taken at your home, you will just need to return the scripts to us for marking.
At the moment, we do not offer an online test.
