The personalised 11+ tutor that adapts to your child and keeps practice coming. Adaptive practice, intelligent revision, timed mock exams and real-time progress tracking across all four 11+ subjects: Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Maths and English. Built for children in Years 4, 5 and 6 preparing for the eleven plus and grammar school entrance tests. PERSONALISED LEARNING Every child's 11+ journey is different. Capypass adjusts question difficulty to your child's ability as they play, so each session focuses exactly where improvement is needed most. Practice that adapts to your child's progress, not a one-size-fits-all worksheet. PRACTICE THAT KEEPS COMING Most questions are built procedurally rather than printed once, so there is always another set ready. Free play covers about 20 questions a day. Capypass Pro removes the daily limit. WHAT YOUR CHILD PRACTISES Non-Verbal Reasoning: series, analogies, matrices and grids, odd one out, rotations and reflections, fold lines, shape codes, hidden shapes, cube nets and 3D views. Verbal Reasoning: synonyms and antonyms, odd one out, letter series and codes, compound words, hidden words, moving and inserting letters, homophones and word ladders. Maths: place value, rounding, fractions and percentages, ratio, sequences, factors and multiples, algebra and substitution, angles and shape, time and timetables, charts, tables and averages. English: spelling, punctuation, grammar and word classes, vocabulary and sentence skills. EXAM-READY PREPARATION Timed mock exams at genuine exam pace build the confidence and stamina the real test demands. Questions are written in the style used by most UK grammar schools (GL-style), building the core English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills that carry over to any 11+ format. CEM-style question support is on our roadmap. INSIGHTS PARENTS LOVE A clear dashboard shows skill-by-skill breakdowns, spider charts and time practised, so you can see strengths, weak spots and exam readiness at a glance. Know exactly what to review together, without hovering over every session. MOTIVATION BUILT IN Streaks, XP, daily goals and achievements, plus Cappy the friendly capybara, turn revision into a habit your child actually keeps. Game-style lessons with instant feedback and clear explanations make practice feel like play, not another worksheet battle. STUCK? CAPPY SHOWS HOW Every skill comes with a short worked example, so your child learns the method, not just the answer. Every answer is explained, right or wrong. TARGETED REVISION Capypass automatically brings back the topics your child finds hardest, so weak areas become strengths well before exam day. SMART VALUE FOR FAMILIES Private 11+ tuition commonly costs ยฃ30 to ยฃ60 or more per hour. Capypass Pro gives your child unlimited daily practice across all four subjects for a fraction of the cost of a single tutoring session. And unlike a pile of workbooks or practice papers, it marks itself instantly and explains every answer. KIND BY DESIGN No ads. No third-party tracking. A calm, encouraging tone with no harsh scores, just steady progress. Your child's progress stays private and is backed up to your own iCloud. WHO IT'S FOR Ideal for children in Years 4 to 6 (KS2) preparing for grammar school and selective school entrance exams, including families in Kent, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Birmingham, Lincolnshire, Trafford and other grammar school areas across the UK. Use it alongside a tutor, instead of piles of practice papers, or as a daily top-up in the final months before the test. A LITTLE EVERY DAY Ten focused minutes a day is more effective than a long session at the weekend. Capypass keeps it short, fun and consistent, so practice becomes part of the routine rather than a battle. Start your child's 11+ journey today. Download Capypass and turn daily practice into exam-day confidence. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
