The side of the app your child will love.

A mission, not a mountain

Each subject greets your child with today's mission: about ten questions, mixed across the topics that need work, sized for roughly eight minutes. It's deliberately small — the app is built around a-little-every-day, because that's what actually moves 11+ scores.

• Today's goal on the home screen shows which subjects are done.
• Quick Practice for spare five-minutes moments.
• Beat the Clock adds a gentle pace timer — running out of time never blocks an answer, it just shows they're over pace.

Practice reminders (if you turn them on in Parent Mode) arrive as friendly nudges at times you choose — and Holiday Mode pauses everything, streak protected, while you're away.

Race Taco to the finish line

Start any set of questions and Taco is waiting at the beginning of the progress bar. Answer one, and he trots forward — legs going properly — with the orange bar rolling along right behind him. Answer another, and off he goes again.

• He waits while you think. Taco stands still until an answer goes in, so nothing wriggles about while your child reads the question.
• The bar chases him down. Taco stays just ahead of the orange, and it catches him up at the very end — finish the mission and they cross the line together.
• It happens everywhere. Maths, English, verbal, non-verbal, mistakes practice and the starting assessment all get the same little race.

It sounds like a small thing. It isn't: "how far has Taco got?" turns ten questions into something worth finishing, and children can see at a glance that the end is close.

The working-out notepad

Real working out needs rough paper. In any maths or verbal reasoning quiz or mock, there is a notepad button at the top of the question, right next to Taco's help. Tap it and a full-screen squared-paper notepad opens — the whole screen to work on, with the question kept along the top. Perfect for long multiplication, or for writing out the alphabet when you're cracking a letter code.

• Draw with a finger — pen, rubber, undo and clear.
• A fresh page every question — the pad wipes itself when the quiz moves on, so the last sum never clutters the next one.
• Hide it and come back — tap Done to check the question, tap the notepad again and the working is exactly where they left it.

No more hunting for scrap paper at the kitchen table — the working out happens where the question is.

Taco's Corner

The Taco tab is your child's own corner of the app — a friendly hub with their day streak and XP today, a shortcut to practise a weak area, and Taco's tip of the day (good habits, sneakily delivered — "before mock tests, get a good night's sleep").

It's also where the fun lives: dressing up Taco and choosing the app's colours.

After the quiz: no red pens

Results screens celebrate effort ("Nice work, Casey! 3/5 correct · +31 XP") and every wrong answer is a "Keep Practising", never a failure. The review shows their answer beside the correct one — with pictures for visual questions — plus a plain-English explanation, the key skill, and the common trap.

Mistakes are quietly saved for later: the Mistakes practice mode rebuilds confidence on exactly those questions when they're ready. That loop — try, miss, understand, beat it — is the whole point of the app.
