Why not just ask an AI chatbot?

You can, and it is fine for explaining an idea. But a chatbot can slip on a tricky spelling or rule, can't run a timed paper, and won't keep a record of what your child finds hard.

Answers fixed by rules and checked banks, never guessed
Timed mocks that behave like an exam

Questions parents ask

Does my child need an account?
No. Parents sign up. Children just practise. We only store a nickname and a year group for each child, and we recommend not using their real name.
Which exam does this match?
It covers the English skills common across 11+ papers: spelling, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, cloze (fill-the-gap) and comprehension. Formats vary by area and school, so check yours. We are not connected to any exam board or school.
How do I cancel?
One click on your dashboard, any time. You keep access until the end of the month you have paid for.
Does it cover maths and reasoning?
Yes. Maths, verbal reasoning and English are all live, and one Genius plan covers all three. Non-verbal reasoning is next: join the waitlist on the home page.
