    AQE website has one sample test:

    http://www.aqe.org.uk/

    Lots of sites around with downloads for 11+ which is still okay with you take out the science bits. Some demos here:

    I found my son liked to do tests on the pc for a change from the papers in school. Kept his interest.

    Good luck.

    We got test papers from pmppublications (search on Google as MSE would not let me add the link!!) Belfast based, for our daughter (One AQE aligned Grammar school pointed us in this direction as they said PMP tests fully reflected AQE exam content). Daughter said after AQE exams that PMP papers were harder - so took that as a good sign!!

    Very user friendly and geared towards the AQE exams. A lot Better we found than the Easons/Belfast Tele papers.
    Good luck.

    Very welcome Bobs. Actually I have a spare paper left over from PMP. Just Pm me if you would like it and I will send it out to you. It will give you a flavour of what to expect. My daughter must have done about 20 of these (plus tests from school) and we could clearly see the steady improvement over time. We got into the routine of letting her do them alone with an hour to complete (mirrors actual AQE exam). Time management is an overlooked skill I feel.
    The layout of paper matches exactly the way the AQE is presented. We always went over the questions she got wrong after each test and after a few months she was averaging 80-90% from 60-65% when we started. Don't worry at the start of your prep as things do improve over time.
    For me as well as her!!!
