Reading School Mock Entrance Exam Day (Central Reading)
May 2025 update: Following the Reading School announcement on Monday 28th April 2025 regarding changes to their entrance exam format beginning with the September 2025 exam series, our specialist examination team, which includes examiners, alongside current and ex grammar school teachers, have created five brand new sets of papers, numbered 'RS1' to 'RS5'. All students sitting a mock exam with us, starting from our May 2025 date, will therefore be sitting papers which match the newly announced format. The 4 papers boys will sit are as follows:
· Adventure paper (multiple choice)
· Compass paper (multiple choice)
· Beacon paper (free response)
· Discovery paper (creativity)
Welcome to the Reading School mock entrance exam days by Brainbox Learning. With only 138 day places available each year, competition levels are naturally high - our mock exam days aim to equip boys with the confidence, resilience and knowledge needed to reach their full potential.
Our mock exam days provide boys with:
the experience of sitting an entrance exam under timed conditions and managing their nerves, in an exam hall filled with unfamiliar faces from other schools
a realistic opportunity to track and measure their progress and level, and increase their confidence
fully individualised, detailed, question-by-question feedback reports, with question walkthroughs, teacher comments and links to further practice resources
We replicate as closely as possible the conditions boys will experience on the day of the real exam, from the moment they are dropped off, all the way through to pickup time. Our papers are carefully created from scratch by a team of expert 11+ teachers, with many years of experience teaching in schools, privately, and writing, marking and moderating real school exams. For each mock exam sat with us, parents will receive a fully comprehensive feedback report and presentation to look through with their child.
Please book early to avoid disappointment.
Please note that the mock exams sat by students with us are not available to buy commercially. These are bespoke papers created by the expert team at Brainbox Learning, in the style of the Reading School exams created by Future Stories. The papers are not endorsed by either Reading School or Future Stories (FSCE), who provide no official mock papers for students. Our papers are numbered ‘R1’ to ‘R5’, and our five brand new papers, starting from the May 2025 mock exam series are numbered ‘RS1’ to ‘RS5’.
National Curriculum subjects in addition to Maths and English, which will appear starting with this year’s exams include:
History
Science
PE
Geography
Languages
Art & Design
Music
Computing
Design & Technology
