One of the key components of all 11+ entrance exams is vocabulary. Children need to demonstrate a wide range of vocabulary in their writing and verbal reasoning if they want to pass their 11+ tests.

Both GL and CEM expect children to demonstrate a strong vocabulary by using (or showing an understanding of) a wide range of difficult words.

Below is our free 11+ Vocabulary List, an enormous list of over 1,800 11+ words to help your child prepare. This list complies with both GL and CEM exam boards and includes hundreds of challenging words.
