TrueViQ is free 11+ preparation: over ten thousand questions across all four subjects, unlimited mock exams, and every answer explained three ways. Years 5 and 6 are live today. No card, no subscription, nothing to cancel. Paid plans add the parent's analysis view, not more questions.
Children preparing for grammar or independent school entrance exams. Years 5 and 6 are live today, which covers the years most families prepare in. Practice is structured by year group so a child works at the right level, and parents manage every account.
Not yet. Years 5 and 6 are live today, and younger year groups are in development. If your child is in Year 3 or 4, the parent guides on starting out are the most useful thing here for now, and reading widely does more at that age than exam practice.
All four: Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, every one of them on the free plan, for Years 5 and 6. Questions are aligned to the national curriculum and tagged by topic, so they suit GL, CEM and school-set papers alike. Check which board your target schools use first.
Every question is created by TrueViQ Foundry and then checked through a six-layer verification process we call The Crucible. Each one carries a TrueViQ Score from 0 to 100, and questions below our quality threshold are never shown to children.
A 0 to 100 quality rating shown on every question. It reflects content accuracy, expert review and community validation. Scores above 90 are marked Verified, 75 to 89 Confident, and 60 to 74 Draft. Unlike most platforms, the score is visible to parents rather than kept internal.
The opposite of a black box. On TrueViQ every question shows its quality score, how it was created, which curriculum objective it targets and what validation it passed. You can check the quality yourself rather than take a brand's word for it.
TrueViQ Explain turns it into a learning moment. Your child sees the solution three ways: step by step, as a visual diagram and through a worked example. They can also open a short "Learn the Method" snippet from our lesson library to understand the underlying idea.
Step by step for children who like a sequence, a visual diagram for children who think in pictures, and a worked example for children who learn by seeing a similar problem solved. All three are free, on every question, in every subject.
Over ten thousand across Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, and the bank grows as new questions clear The Crucible. All of them are available on the free plan at every difficulty level.
Three: Foundation, Standard and Challenge. Questions are also tagged by year group from Year 3 to Year 6, and the adaptive engine moves the difficulty up or down as your child answers, so practice stays stretching without becoming discouraging.
Yes. Every Maths and English question is mapped to a specific National Curriculum objective. Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are not curriculum subjects, so those questions are mapped instead to the question types used by GL Assessment and CEM.
GL Assessment format: four sections covering Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, with 25 questions and a 25-minute limit per section. Standard mock tests inside the practice platform are free; results break down by subject and strand.
Weekly GL-format mock exams sat from home alongside a real national cohort. Every child who sits the same paper forms one cohort, so the percentile your child receives is measured against real candidates rather than estimated by an algorithm.
Every child who sits the same paper in a given week forms a single cohort. Scores are age-standardised, then ranked, and the percentile updates as more children complete. We wait for a minimum of 30 candidates before showing percentile data at all.
The Arena Live page describes a fresh paper released every Monday and available until Sunday night, with no slots to book. Everyone who sits the same paper that week forms one cohort for the percentile.
PRISM takes one question through five stages based on Bloom's Taxonomy: study the method, decode the question, spot the trap, justify the answer, then solve under time pressure. It builds depth rather than volume, and complements regular practice rather than replacing it.
A single session, all five stages for one question, takes five to ten minutes. We suggest two to five sessions per sitting and a weekly mix of three or four regular practice sessions with two or three PRISM sessions. Quality over quantity.
A daily coaching guide for parents. Compass turns your child's analytics into plain-English advice, such as which topic to spend twenty minutes on tonight, with a weekly game plan and gentle reminders. It is part of the Summit plan.
A colour-coded heatmap of your child's progress across the whole National Curriculum, by subject, strand and topic. It shows what has been covered, where accuracy is strong and which topics need attention, and it can generate a targeted session to fill the biggest gaps.
Yes. Some schools, including Tiffin, the Sutton consortium and CSSE Essex, use written Stage 2 papers. Written practice prepares printable maths and comprehension papers with working space and a coaching guide, so you can review the work together. It sits on the paid plans.
A daily four-question micro-practice across subjects. It is designed to build a consistent habit without overwhelming a child, and it feeds the streak counter and daily goals. Quick Byte is free.
Two to three minute concept primers across all subjects: a short refresher on a method before your child practises it. They are the same lesson library that the "Learn the Method" snippets in explanations draw on.
Sixty-second adaptive speed drills that make key facts instant, such as times tables and number bonds. Spaced repetition brings back exactly the facts your child keeps missing, which is the retrieval practice a crib sheet on the fridge cannot give.
PaperTrail lets you download practice papers to sit away from the screen, then photograph the completed answer sheet for automatic marking so offline practice still counts towards your child's analytics. Uploads are made by parents, and only answer-sheet images are accepted.
Ascent is the personalised learning path on the Basecamp plan: a route from where your child is now to exam day, with a projected exam-day score that updates as they practise. It sits alongside the readiness score and weakness heatmap on the parent side.
TrueViQ is a self-paced practice platform, not a tutoring service. It gives curriculum-mapped questions, adaptive difficulty and clear explanations; a tutor gives personal guidance and motivation. Many families use both, and we are never meant to replace a tutor, teacher or parent.
Free profiles of grammar schools covering exam board, exam format, Ofsted rating, school type, intake, Year 7 places, the published qualifying score where there is one, and key registration and exam dates. No account is needed to use it.
A free, interactive map of the whole Key Stage 2 National Curriculum, with objective-level detail for Maths and English and the statutory strands for the other nine subjects. It also covers Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning for 11+ preparation.
TrueViQ is designed, built and operated by Digitally Inherent Pvt Ltd, an independent lab focused on transparent education technology. The company is the data controller for the platform and is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Not yet. The features and pricing pages list a child-facing TrueVIQ AI Tutor as coming soon on the Summit plan; it is a separate, unreleased feature. It is not Ask TrueViQ, which is live today and gives children guided, button-only help on a wrong answer from our verified content.
Thyra is a separate TrueViQ product for schools, not part of the 11+ platform. It is a governed AI assistant for school staff: teachers get help with planning, marking and admin, and leaders get a full, logged record of how AI is being used.
Yes. Unlimited practice across all four subjects is free, with no credit card and no time limit. Paid plans add parent-facing analytics and coaching, but your child's practice experience is the same on every plan.
The Foundation plan includes unlimited questions in all four subjects at every difficulty, the three explanation modes with lesson snippets, the adaptive engine, Quick Byte, Focus Sessions, streaks, badges, bookmarks and basic progress tracking. The pricing page has the full list.
No. All questions, all four subjects, all difficulty levels and all three explanation modes are free. Paid plans add things for parents, such as analytics and coaching, never extra questions for children.
No. The free plan is the product, and your child can prepare for the 11+ entirely on it. There is no expiry and no card to add. Premium analytics give parents deeper insight but are never required.
Basecamp is the parent analytics plan: the Ascent learning path with a projected exam-day score, an exam readiness score, weakness heatmap, growth charts, behavioural insights such as rushing and fatigue, Ask TrueViQ for parents, study plans, and Arena Live included. Prices are on the pricing page.
Everything in Basecamp plus AI that actively coaches: Compass daily coaching, Precision Practice sessions that target the biggest gaps, percentile benchmarking, PaperTrail exam analysis and mock exam PDFs, and topic dependency paths. A child-facing AI Tutor is listed as coming soon. The pricing page lists what is included today.
Yes. You can upgrade from free at any time, move between the paid plans, and cancel whenever you like. If analytics turns out not to help, you drop back to the free plan and your child's practice data stays intact.
The pricing page describes a 14-day money-back guarantee on paid plans, and our terms set out the 14-day cooling-off period under UK consumer law. If analytics does not provide value for your family, ask and we will refund.
Parents who want to actively guide preparation. If you already sit down with your child after practice and want data to inform those conversations, analytics gives useful context. If your child practises happily on their own, the free plan may be all you need.
Arena Live is included with the Basecamp and Summit plans. Families on the free plan can sit individual exams on a pay-as-you-go basis, and the pricing page shows the current per-exam price alongside the plans. Every exam includes the percentile, leaderboard and integrity report.
Standard mock tests inside the practice platform are free, timed to GL conditions and broken down by subject and strand afterwards. Arena Live, the weekly cohort exam with a national percentile, is included in paid plans or available per exam.
PRISM is available from the Basecamp plan upwards and is included in the subscription at no extra cost: unlimited sessions across all four subjects and every topic strand. The free plan keeps unlimited regular practice, so a family can try volume first and add depth later.
No, and that is by design. Your child picks from guided questions we have written, such as "Show me the right method" or "Why is that a trap?". There is no open text box, so the conversation stays educational and on topic.
Every response is assembled from content that has already been through our six-layer Crucible verification. The AI cannot generate new information; it recombines verified explanations, worked examples and lesson content, and if verified content does not exist it says so.
Yes. Every conversation is logged and visible in your parent dashboard. You can read the full transcript: what your child asked, what TrueViQ answered and which lesson content was used to answer it.
We built in deliberate limits: at most three exchanges per question and ten per session. After that it says it is time to try the next question. The aim is to help your child understand, then step back so they do the thinking.
Yes. There is no free-form chat, no messaging, no social features and no internet access inside the platform. AI responses are written at a Year 5 to 6 reading level from our own verified content, we do not use personal data in them, and TrueViQ is fully ICO Children's Code compliant.
ChatGPT answers from general knowledge, so it can hallucinate, drift off topic or get maths wrong. TrueViQ AI only has access to our checked curriculum content, so it cannot invent an answer, and children reach it through guided buttons rather than an open chat.
Inside the parent dashboard, Ask TrueViQ gives personalised advice from your child's real practice data: accuracy by topic, timing patterns, error types and habits. You search by keyword and choose from pre-vetted questions, and every answer shows exactly which data it used.
Yes. Your child can open Ask TrueViQ any time and browse topic categories across Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning and exam technique, choosing guided buttons such as "Explain this topic to me". Same safety model, same verified content, just child-initiated.
Only aggregated metrics: accuracy percentages, topic names, timing averages, error pattern counts and practice streak. Never surnames, dates of birth, school names or individual attempt records. After every response you can open a transparency panel showing the exact data used.
Every AI call passes through a central safety gateway that scans what goes in for personal data and prompt injection, and scans what comes out for hallucination, unsafe content and anything off topic. No data is used to train AI models, and the platform is fully ICO Children's Code compliant.
An examiner's trap, rushing, a missing building block, a repeated mistake, exam pressure and a genuine misunderstanding. TrueViQ works out which one applies and responds differently: a re-read for rushing, the prerequisite lesson for a gap, a speed technique for exam pressure.
When an AI does not know an answer it rarely says so; it makes up something that sounds confident and is wrong. That is the biggest risk with AI in education. TrueViQ AI answers only from verified content and says so when none exists.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation. Instead of answering from general knowledge, the AI first searches a verified database, retrieves the most relevant pieces and builds its response only from them, like looking the answer up in a trusted textbook rather than guessing.
No. There is no messaging, no chat, no friend lists, no profiles visible to other users and no live sessions between adults and children. TrueViQ is a structured question-and-answer platform, which removes the safeguarding risks of social or interactive products.
Yes. Every question is reviewed by qualified educators and passes six-layer verification covering accuracy, age-appropriateness, curriculum alignment, difficulty, bias and clarity. Each one carries a visible quality score so you can see how far it has been checked.
Email info@trueviq.co.uk and we will acknowledge within 24 hours and act. The safeguarding page also lists external contacts, including the NSPCC helpline and Childline, if a concern is about a child's immediate safety.
No. Every answer here was written by the TrueViQ team from a page on this website, and each one links to that page. Nothing is generated while you read, so the guide cannot invent an answer; if we have not written one, it says so.
By design, very little: a first name, a year group, the target exam type and a chosen avatar. Our privacy policy states we do not collect children's surnames, dates of birth, school names, photos or any other identifying information. Parent accounts hold name, email and an encrypted password.

Only what a parent chooses to provide to switch on accommodations: an optional SEND category such as dyslexia, display preferences like font and contrast, and accommodation settings such as text-to-speech or extra time. It is collected with explicit parental consent and used for nothing else.
Full keyboard navigation, text-to-speech using the device's own voice so nothing leaves it, the OpenDyslexic font, adjustable text size, high contrast, reduced motion and a reading guide. Everything is optional, switchable at any time, and available on every plan.
Yes. We mirror the JCQ access arrangements used in the real exam so children practise under the conditions they will sit. Extra time applies to mock tests, PRISM time trials and timed practice. Arena Live keeps standard timing for everyone so the cohort comparison stays fair.
We say so openly. Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning questions contain visual patterns that text-to-speech cannot describe; it reads the instruction but not the figures, which is inherent to the exam format. Voice quality also depends on the device. Email accessibility@trueviq.co.uk with anything we have missed.

A selective entrance exam taken in Year 6, at age 10 or 11, for a place at a grammar school or some independent schools in England. It usually tests English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, though the exact format depends on the region and exam board.
Children sit the 11+ in September or October of Year 6, when they are typically 10 or 11. Registration usually happens in the summer term of Year 5, so the practical deadlines arrive earlier than many families expect.
No. Regions use different exam boards, GL Assessment or CEM, test different subjects and set different qualifying scores. Kent, Buckinghamshire and Sutton each run their own format and process, which is why our regional guides exist.
Most 11+ exams test four: English, including comprehension, grammar and spelling; Maths from the KS2 curriculum plus problem solving; Verbal Reasoning, which is word patterns and logic; and Non-Verbal Reasoning, which is shape patterns and spatial awareness. Some regions test only two or three.
Typically two to two and a half hours in total, spread across several papers with breaks between them. Each individual paper is usually 45 to 60 minutes. The exact pattern depends on the board and region, so the school profile or regional guide is the place to check.
In GL Assessment areas such as Kent, Sutton and most of Buckinghamshire, yes. CEM exams mix multiple choice with other formats, and independent school and some second-stage papers require written answers.
No. Many children pass with parental support, books and free or low-cost online resources. Tutoring can help but is not essential; consistent practice and strong fundamentals matter more than the method of preparation.
Most families begin 12 to 18 months before the exam, so in Year 4 or early Year 5. The right moment depends on your child's current level, how competitive the target school is and which exam board it uses. Strong Maths and English fundamentals are the best foundation.
Not necessarily. With strong Maths and English fundamentals, Year 5 can be enough, especially for GL areas where the format is predictable. For super-selective schools or CEM areas, 12 to 18 months is usually recommended. The deciding factor is your child's starting point, not the calendar.
Yes. Formal 11+ preparation in Year 3 or earlier risks burnout, exam fatigue and turning learning into a chore. At that age the best preparation is broad: reading widely, building number confidence and staying curious, rather than drilling papers.
The exam board that provides the 11+ tests used by most grammar school regions in England. GL exams use separate papers per subject with a consistent, structured format, which is why they reward steady, familiar practice.
Separate papers per subject, each with around 50 multiple-choice questions in roughly 50 minutes. The subjects are Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, though which ones a region uses varies. TrueViQ mock tests mirror this separate-paper, timed structure.
Most grammar schools in Kent, Buckinghamshire, Birmingham, Lincolnshire, Trafford, Devon and the Wirral use GL. Always confirm with the target school directly, because consortia and individual schools do change providers.
The Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring, based at Durham University. CEM provides 11+ exams for selected grammar school regions and deliberately varies its content and format from year to year to reduce the effect of coaching.
CEM uses mixed-subject papers of around 45 minutes where children switch between maths, English and reasoning within one sitting, with tighter time limits. GL uses separate subject papers of around 50 minutes each. CEM is designed to be harder to coach for.
To an extent. Broad reading, vocabulary and maths fluency help most, and familiarity with the mixed-subject format and time pressure makes a real difference. TrueViQ offers mixed-subject practice, wider vocabulary coverage and speed-focused comprehension for CEM areas.
Check the target grammar school's website or contact admissions. The two main boards are GL Assessment and CEM. Our school profiles name the board for each school, and the regional guides cover Kent, Sutton and Buckinghamshire, all GL, with more regions to come.
It varies by area and school. Most GL regions use Standardised Age Scores with an average of 100; our GL page notes that 111 and above is competitive in many areas and that super-selective schools may look for 120 or more. Each school profile shows the published threshold where there is one.
An SAS adjusts a child's raw score for their age in months, so younger children in the year are not disadvantaged. An SAS of 100 is average. Grammar schools typically require somewhere between 111 and 140 or more depending on how selective they are.
A super-selective grammar school admits from a wide area, sometimes nationally, rather than a local catchment, and sets very high qualifying scores, often an SAS of 130 or more. They are among the most competitive schools in the country.
Between September and November of Year 6, depending on the region and exam board. Some areas sit it in early September, others later in the autumn term, and each region or consortium sets its own date independently. Our dates page lists them by region.
Usually between October and January depending on the area. Kent typically releases results in October, while some other regions take longer. School places themselves are confirmed on National Offer Day, 1 March.
Results are sent to parents. If your child qualifies, you list grammar schools on your local authority's secondary application by its deadline, usually 31 October. Places are confirmed on National Offer Day on 1 March.
Sometimes, provided the exam dates do not clash. Each area has its own registration and eligibility rules, and some prioritise local residents, so check each one individually before planning around it.
KS2 National Curriculum maths across ten strands: number and place value, the four operations, fractions, decimals and percentages, measurement, geometry, position and direction, ratio and proportion, statistics and algebra. The emphasis shifts by exam board.
The content is the same National Curriculum, but 11+ questions are harder in presentation: they combine several concepts, demand quicker working and use unfamiliar wording. The difficulty is in application rather than new material.
Comprehension, including inference and retrieval from passages; vocabulary such as word meanings, synonyms and antonyms; grammar and punctuation; and spelling. The balance depends on the exam board: GL sets a standalone English paper, while CEM folds English into a mixed paper with a heavy comprehension weighting.
Very, across both the English and Verbal Reasoning papers, and CEM tests a particularly broad range. Regular reading is the most effective way to build it naturally, alongside targeted practice of less common words.
Working with words and language-based logic: synonyms, analogies, codes, odd one out and word patterns. It is not taught as a school subject, so familiarity with the question types matters a great deal for confidence and speed.
GL Assessment typically uses eleven: synonyms, antonyms, analogies, code breaking, odd one out, word sequences, compound words, hidden words, logic problems, cloze passages and letter or number series. CEM tests similar skills in different formats. TrueViQ covers all of them with step-by-step explanations.
Spotting visual patterns, sequences and spatial relationships without words. There is no curriculum to revise from, so it is different rather than harder: systematic practice with the question types, looking at edges, shading, rotation and symmetry, matters more than memorising anything.
Practise varied question types and encourage a systematic look for what changes and what stays the same: edges, shading, rotation, symmetry. TrueViQ's NVR explanations show exactly which visual properties change, so your child learns the underlying pattern rather than just the answer.
Every one to two weeks in the final two to three months before the exam. Earlier in preparation, subject-specific practice does more good than full papers, and depth work such as PRISM builds the technique that mocks then test.
It does not determine their future. Long-term outcomes at GCSE, A-level, university and beyond are not set by the 11+, which tests a narrow set of skills on one day. Many children who did not pass go on to excellent results. How you frame it matters most.
Some areas allow appeals or run waiting lists; contact the school or local authority directly. Be realistic: successful appeals are rare and the process extends the stressful period for your child, so weigh whether it is in their interest.
Frame it as something they get to do, not something they must do: "There's a special test for some schools, and we're going to see if you'd like to try it." Avoid linking it to their worth or your expectations. Most experts suggest introducing it gently around Year 4.
Whatever the result, lead with pride in the effort: "I'm proud of you for trying" works either way. If they did not get a place, avoid the word "failed"; say they did not get a place this time, and turn towards what comes next.
Most exam boards offer access arrangements, such as extra time or rest breaks, for documented additional needs. The standardised age score adjusts for age within the year group, which helps summer-born children, who may also benefit from starting a little earlier.
Years 3 to 6, ages 7 to 11, in the English school system. It follows Key Stage 1 and ends with the Year 6 SATs. The 11+ is not a Key Stage 2 test, but its Maths and English content comes almost entirely from KS2 objectives.
The 11+ is not a National Curriculum test, but its Maths and English sections are based almost entirely on KS2 objectives. A child who has securely met Year 5 and Year 6 expectations has covered the academic foundations the exam requires; reasoning is the part school does not teach.
Answers about a region's key dates, exam format and consortium schools are filled in from that region's guide. Open Kent, Sutton or Buckinghamshire and ask there.
Browse the regional guides →Kent has the largest number of grammar schools in England, 32 of them, all admitting through the Kent Test. It is administered by GL Assessment and sat in September of Year 6, testing English, Maths and Reasoning in multiple-choice format.
The Kent guide notes a qualifying score that varies each year but is typically around 320 SAS combined across the papers, with 332 and above considered very strong, and some super-selective schools such as Dartford Grammar looking for more. Check the guide for the current figure.
Yes. Children living outside Kent can register for the Kent Test. Kent grammar schools prioritise Kent residents in their admissions criteria, though, so out-of-area applicants typically need higher scores to secure a place. The Kent guide explains how registration works for non-residents.
Across the 32 Kent grammar schools there are roughly 4,500 Year 7 places each year, and around 17,000 children sit the Kent Test annually. The Kent guide gives the detail school by school.
Sutton is home to five of England's most competitive grammar schools. The Sutton and District Testing Consortium runs one shared entrance exam that counts for all five. They are super-selective schools with very high qualifying scores. Tiffin School and Tiffin Girls, in Kingston, run separate exams.
Extremely. They are classified as super-selective; the Sutton guide gives the example of Wilson's School receiving over 2,500 applications for roughly 180 places, a ratio of about 14 to 1.
The Sutton guide puts the typical qualifying SAS around 332, varying by school and year, and notes that the most competitive schools, Nonsuch and Wilson's, may effectively need 340 or more for a realistic chance. Treat these as the guide's figures, not a promise.
No. Tiffin School and Tiffin Girls' School are in the Royal Borough of Kingston and run their own two-stage entrance exams, with a written Stage 2. They have separate school profiles on our site.
Buckinghamshire has 13 grammar schools sharing one Bucks 11+ test, administered by GL Assessment. Unusually, it covers Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning only, with no separate Maths or English papers, so strong readers and mathematicians still need specific reasoning practice.
Buckinghamshire has historically treated reasoning as a measure of academic potential rather than taught knowledge. In practice it means early exposure to reasoning question types matters more there than in Maths-and-English regions.
The Buckinghamshire guide gives a typical qualifying score of around 121 SAS per paper, about 242 combined, varying slightly each year. Reaching it does not guarantee a place; that depends on which schools you apply to and how many apply.
Yes, but Buckinghamshire residents receive priority, so out-of-county applicants need the qualifying score and may in practice need a higher one. Register through Bucks Council even if you live outside the county.
