Everything your child needs for the 11+ and the rest of KS2, for one price: every 11+ subject and test format, nine more subjects from Science to Music, timed mock papers and over 330 revision notes. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no adverts and no account. FRESH QUESTIONS, NOT A MEMORY TEST 11++ makes new questions every round, so your child practises the skill instead of remembering answers. Every question comes with a clear, worked explanation, and the app remembers what your child has seen recently so new rounds bring fresh ones. ONE PRICE, EVERYTHING INCLUDED Pay once for every subject, mock paper, revision note and activity, with a profile for each child. There is nothing more to unlock, and future updates are free. READY FOR YOUR SCHOOLS' TESTS Tick every test your schools use and 11++ shows the right subjects and mock papers for each: • GL Assessment – the classic grammar school papers • CEM – short timed sections with cloze passages, shuffled sentences and vocabulary • ISEB Pre-Test – an adaptive test that gets harder or easier as your child answers • SEAG (Northern Ireland) and CSSE (Essex) – English and maths papers, with typed answers for maths • FSCE – maths, English and the wider curriculum below, plus timed creative-writing prompts PRACTISE EVERY 11+ SUBJECT • Maths – number, fractions, ratio, algebra, shape, measures, data and word problems • English – comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar and punctuation • Verbal Reasoning – all the classic question types: codes, letter series, analogies, hidden words, word ladders, logic puzzles and more • Non-Verbal Reasoning – series, matrices, odd one out, codes, reflections, rotations, cube nets, fold-and-punch, hidden shapes and 3D blocks BEYOND THE 11+: THE WIDER CURRICULUM Some schools test more than the core 11+ subjects, and every child studies them at school. 11++ covers the rest of KS2 too, with 57 topics of questions and over 150 revision notes: • Science – living things, the human body, materials, light and sound, forces, electricity, Earth and space • History – timelines, sources and evidence, cause and consequence, ancient and past societies • Geography – maps and grid references, the globe, climate, rivers and volcanoes, settlements and trade • Computing – algorithms, debugging, loops, binary, networks and online safety • Design & Technology – materials, structures, gears and levers, electrical systems, food and nutrition • Art & Design, Music, Languages and PE & Health – artists and techniques, rhythm and notation, how languages work, fitness and healthy bodies TIMED MOCK PAPERS Exam-style papers with a timer, question flagging and a full answer review at the end, including CEM-style timed sections and an ISEB-style adaptive test. PITCHED AT THE RIGHT LEVEL Choose Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6 (exam standard). Questions, vocabulary and mock-paper timings adapt to match. Topics beyond the KS2 curriculum are marked "Stretch". LEARN, NOT JUST TEST • Over 330 revision notes covering the national curriculum and every question type, with diagrams, maps, worked examples and quick checks • 120 family activities that build reasoning through everyday life – cooking, maps, timelines, experiments and games • Review mistakes until they're fixed FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY • A profile for each child at no extra cost, with their own tests, level, progress and streaks • Progress tracking, focus areas and a daily goal • A calendar for open days, registration deadlines and test dates – note each school's test, filter by school and add to your phone's calendar PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no adverts, no tracking. Your child's details and progress stay on your device; only anonymous usage counts are shared, and you can switch them off. Spot a mistake? Tap "Report a problem" and we'll fix it. 11++ is independent and not affiliated with GL Assessment, Cambridge University Press & Assessment, ISEB, SEAG, CSSE or FSCE.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: School Gateway at Free against 11++'s $2.99. School Gateway also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 11++'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
