Most parents start 11+ prep with a pile of practice books and no real idea how to fit them around school, work, and an already tired evening. Readybird turns that pile into a weekly plan that fits a real week. It is a study planner, not a question bank or a test simulator. Tell it the target schools, the exam dates, and the days you can study. It maps out the week across the four 11+ subjects (Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning), breaks the work into short sessions, and reminds you when each one is due. You always know what today's session is, and you can watch the progress build. It keeps things calm rather than frantic. One clear thing to do at a time, and rest days are part of the plan. Showing up earns a bit of quiet encouragement, nothing over the top. Steady study beats last-minute cramming. It is also far kinder on everyone. WHAT YOU GET • A weekly plan across all four 11+ subjects, shaped around the days and pace that suit you. • Daily reminders, so you rarely forget a session. • A focused session timer, and a guilt-free way to mark a session done or skip it when life gets in the way. • Your shortlist of schools, each with its exam date and a countdown. • Streaks, a monthly activity calendar, and full history on the Progress tab. • A home-screen widget with today's session and your current streak.
