Question 1 of 2
  • My child runs out of time

    Full mocks run on the test's own section clocks, so your child practises pacing before the day.

  • We can't tell what practice scores mean

    The free practice score checker explains what a mock percentage can and cannot tell you.

  • Unfamiliar words trip up a keen reader

    Short lessons teach word meanings in context, and Mia explains any question your child gets wrong.

All Kent dates

Starting in Year 5

Is Year 5 too early to start?

No. The test is in September of Year 6. Year 5 gives a calm year: three 20-minute sessions a week.

How much time does it take each week?

Three 20-minute sessions. The free plan sets out each week, and the parent view shows what is done.

Do I need to teach it?

No. The lessons teach each method and Mia, the built-in tutor, explains every mistake. You keep the routine.

My child already has a tutor. Is this still useful?

Yes. The mocks show which question types still go wrong, so the tutor knows what to work on.
