Why ElevenReady

Not just a question bank — a coach

Most 11+ apps give you questions. ElevenReady understands how your child is doing and turns it into a clear plan you can trust.

Readiness score

A transparent, banded score per target school — Developing, On Track, Strong or Exam Ready — from a clear formula, never guesswork.

Spots weak spots

We find the exact skills holding your child back and explain why mistakes keep happening — then build practice around them.

Instant explanations

Every wrong answer gets a kid‑friendly, worked explanation so learning happens in the moment, not days later.

Weekly study plan

A simple, achievable plan that adapts each week — so you always know what to practise next.

Kids love it

Coins, streaks, badges and a build‑your‑buddy reward shop keep children motivated — no loot boxes, no dark patterns.

Parent dashboard

Calm, clear progress charts plus a weekly email digest — see effort and improvement at a glance.

Ask Ellie, your AI coach

Ask in plain English — “what are my child's weak spots?”, “what should we practise this week?” — and get answers built from your child's own work, not generic tips.

Turn real papers into a plan

Upload a completed mock or past paper and we read it privately — finding exactly where your child slipped and folding those gaps straight into their practice.

Printable mock papers for your school

Practice papers written to your target school's own format — GL, FSCE or CEM style — with an answer key at the back. Your first paper is free with a free account.

Creative writing, marked kindly

Real exam-style writing tasks — typed, or a photo of handwritten work — with "two stars and a wish" feedback that quotes your child's own words. Essential for FSCE schools, useful for every 11+.

Simple to start

How it works

1

Take a baseline

A short diagnostic across every subject your target school tests builds your child's starting picture in minutes.

2

Practise daily

Bite‑sized sessions with instant feedback. The AI coach adapts the plan as your child improves.

3

Watch readiness rise

Track the readiness score climb toward each target school — and know exactly where to focus.

Which 11+ does your school use?

Built for every 11+ exam format

Pick your target school and everything — the study plan, the mock papers, the readiness score — follows its board. If a school is switching boards, we prepare each year group for the exam they will sit.

GL Assessment

Used by most grammar schools in England: Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, multiple-choice on a separate answer sheet, standardised scores. Our questions, difficulty tiers and timed mocks mirror the GL style — and our reasoning puzzles are correct by construction.

FSCE (Future Stories)

The newer Key Stage 2 curriculum test: Maths and English, with creative writing and wider-curriculum questions (science, history, geography) — no reasoning papers. Adopted by the Trafford grammar schools from September 2028 entry and already used in Reading, Kendrick and Gloucestershire. Read our FSCE guide.

ISEB, consortium & school-set papers

Independent schools and consortia set their own tests or use the ISEB pre-test; former CEM areas now mostly use GL or FSCE. The school finder shows each school's board, subjects and key dates — verified from the school's own site and dated.

The difference

More than a question bank

A typical 11+ app

  • A pile of questions to work through
  • A score, with no “so what”
  • You guess what to practise next
  • Motivation is down to you

ElevenReady

  • A coach that finds the real weak spots
  • A transparent readiness band per school
  • A weekly plan that tells you what's next
  • Coins, streaks & a buddy keep kids going

Puzzles verified by mathematics

Our shape & reasoning puzzles are built by engines that construct the correct answer — every Non‑Verbal Reasoning, nets and spatial question is provably right by construction, not just “reviewed”. No other 11+ platform can say that.

A plan built around your school

Pick a target grammar school and the plan adapts to its exact exam format — the subjects it tests, its timing pressure, its entrance standard. Not one generic syllabus for everyone.

Honest numbers, human-checked content

Readiness scores come from a transparent formula you can see — never an AI guess — and every AI-drafted question is reviewed by a person before your child meets it.

🤖📈

The AI difference

An AI coach that explains, not just marks

ElevenReady computes the numbers deterministically, then uses AI to turn them into reassuring, parent‑friendly guidance — grounded in your child's actual answers.

  • Reads patterns across hundreds of attempts
  • Explains the misconception behind repeated mistakes
  • Recommends the next best skills to practise
  • Children's data is minimised and never used to train models

See it in action

The dashboard your child will love

A calm, playful home base — daily practice, a clear learning plan, and coins, streaks and badges that celebrate effort. Say hi to Robbie. 🤖

The ElevenReady child dashboard: a friendly robot greeting, coins, points, day-streak and badges, practice options for Maths, English and Reasoning, and a learning plan with per-subject progress bars.
The child experience — friendly, focused, and motivating.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free to start?

Yes — every family gets 3 months free with no card required. You'll only be asked to choose a plan when the trial ends, and you can cancel any time.

What ages and exams is it for?

It's for 11+ preparation anywhere in the UK — the GL Assessment style used by most grammar schools, the newer FSCE (Future Stories) format, and independent-school entrance too. It covers Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, creative writing and the FSCE wider curriculum, typically for children in Years 4–6.

How many children can I add?

Family plans cover up to three children, each with their own profile, progress and rewards.

Is my child's data safe?

Yes. We follow UK GDPR and the ICO Children's Code: minimal data, no selling, no public profiles, and AI is sent only pseudonymous practice data — never your child's name. See our Privacy Policy.

Is the readiness score a prediction?

No — it's a transparent, rule-based estimate to guide practice. It is not a prediction or guarantee of any exam result or school place.

Does ElevenReady follow the GL Assessment 11+ format?

Yes. Most UK grammar schools use GL Assessment for the 11+, and ElevenReady's questions, timed mock tests and difficulty tiers mirror the GL style across all four subjects. If your target school uses ISEB, a consortium exam, or the new FSCE (Future Stories) format — adopted by the Trafford grammar schools from September 2028 entry — the study plan, mock papers and readiness score adapt to that format automatically.

Does ElevenReady cover the FSCE 11+ exam?

Yes. Choose an FSCE school as your target and the plan switches to the FSCE shape: Key Stage 2 Maths and English, creative writing with marked feedback, and wider-curriculum practice in science, history and geography — with no time spent on reasoning papers the school won't set. Trafford's grammar schools move to FSCE from September 2028 entry; children sitting in autumn 2026 for 2027 entry are still prepared for GL.

Are there timed 11+ mock tests?

Yes — full mixed-paper mocks and per-subject timed tests, marked instantly with a worked explanation for every mistake and a readiness read-out against your target school's standard.

When should my child start preparing for the 11+?

Most families start in Year 4 or Year 5. ElevenReady paces the weekly plan to your child's exam date — little-and-often when the exam is far away, building to full exam-prep volume in the final six months.

Do you support tutors and schools?

Yes — see For tutors for class management, assignments and per-student readiness reporting.
