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. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS There is no account to set up and no server of ours in between. Your plan and progress live on your device and sync through your own iCloud. We do not collect or sell your data, and there are no adverts or third-party trackers in the app. Readybird is free to try for 7 days, then needs a subscription you can cancel any time.

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 £30 to £60 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/
