Pip helps your child prepare for the UK 11+ at a pace they can stick with. Choose a daily goal and practise Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, with questions that adapt to your child's level. Built for Year 4, 5 and 6 learners preparing for grammar or independent school entry. Free to download, with no ads. Children can learn without an account. Optional parent accounts are available with Pip Pro. PICK YOUR DAILY GOAL Choose Relaxed (50 XP, about 5 questions), Steady (100 XP, about 10), Keen (200 XP, about 20), or Intense (300 XP, about 30). Change your goal any time. DAILY PRACTICE AND EXPLANATIONS A fresh mix across the four subjects, with instant feedback and clear explanations. Pip Teaches introduces skills before practice, with a gentle skip option when your child is ready to begin. ADAPTIVE SMARTSCORE Each skill has a 0โ€“100 SmartScore that grows with practice. Questions become more challenging as your child improves. Reaching 90 celebrates mastery within Pip; SmartScore is a practice measure, not an exam prediction. PIP'S SHOP: THE MONEY GAME Count the till, give exact change, compare value, explore sales and holiday money, and try the 90-second Market Day rush. Earn coins towards new looks for Pip. VARIED WAYS TO LEARN Multiple choice, typed answers, selecting all that apply, ordering, diagram taps, a build-the-change coin till and best-value choices keep practice varied. XP, COINS AND PIP'S WARDROBE Earn XP and coins, build a streak and dress Pip in unlocked hats, outfits and effects. Multiple children can share a device, each with their own profile, daily goal and progress. PIP PRO: OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION Unlock timed mock papers, detailed in-app reports and topic breakdowns, answer review, answer-speed insights, and Word Quest Vocabulary Builder: 200+ 11+ words across five mini-games, boss battles and spaced review.
