This pack is a timed numeracy fluency drill for 11+ preparation, styled on GL Assessment speed and accuracy conventions. It is split into 4 blocks of 20 answer-only questions: Block A (Number Foundations), Block B (Fractions, Decimals and Percentages), Block C (Ratio, Proportion and Algebra) and Block D (Measures, Money and Quick Problems). Each block has a target of 5 minutes for all 20 questions (roughly 15 seconds per question), so pupils should write the answer only, with no working shown, in the space next to each question. No calculator is allowed. The mark scheme at the back is presented as a quick-check answer grid, one mark per question, so pupils or parents can mark the drill in under a minute and time future attempts to track improvement.
