Entrance-exam prep
Aim your child's prep at the schools they're actually sitting.
A prep plan built from each target school's real assessment format — 7+ to 16+ — showing where your child is ready and where to focus.
Free for parents · no card needed
Without Houseroom
A workbook that doesn't know your schools
The off-the-shelf 11+ pack drills the same content for everyone. You can't tell if you're over-preparing for a topic one school never tests, or skating past a skill another one weights heavily.
What makes it different
Why prepare for exams works here.
Not another feature list — the specific things only Houseroom does, and why they matter for the decision in front of you.
Built from each school's real format
Reads what your target schools actually assess — paper types, subjects and entry point — and shapes prep around that.
7+ · 8+ · 11+ · 13+ · 16+
Readiness you can see, skill by skill
See where your child is strong and where the next hour of practice counts most — instead of drilling everything equally.
Skill-level tracking
Paced to the real sitting dates
Timed against each school's actual assessment dates, so the plan tightens as the sitting approaches.

FAQ
Questions parents ask.
Does this replace a tutor?
No. It doesn't teach the material — it tells you where to point effort and shows readiness skill by skill. Many parents use it to brief a tutor and to make sure home practice and paid lessons are aimed at the right schools, so neither wastes time on what won't be tested.
How does it know what each school tests, and is it accurate?
It reads the assessment format we hold for each school — paper types, subjects and entry point — from the same verified profile data used across Houseroom, sourced from each school's own published admissions information and reviewed weekly. Where a school doesn't publish its exact format, we say so rather than guess.
Which entry points does prep cover?
7+, 8+, 11+, 13+ and 16+ entrance assessments, including bespoke school papers and common pre-tests such as the ISEB pre-test, wherever schools publish their format.
Can I prepare for several schools at once?
Yes. The plan accounts for every target on your shortlist, highlights the skills that matter across all of them, and flags anything specific to a single school — so you can prepare for a mixed set without missing a school's quirks.
Where does the prep plan live, and what does it cost?
It lives in your free parent account, alongside your child's profile and the application tracker, so readiness and progress stay in one place. The plan is free for parents — schools never pay to appear or to shape what it recommends.
How is this different from a generic 11+ workbook?
A workbook drills the same content for everyone. This plan starts from the schools your child is actually sitting, weights skills the way those assessments do, and paces practice to the real dates — so effort is aimed, not just busy.

Still deciding?
The honest answers.
Does this replace a tutor?
No, and it isn't meant to. It doesn't teach — it aims effort. It shows you which skills each target school weights and where your child stands, so home practice and any tutoring land where they'll count. Most parents use it to brief a tutor, not to drop one.
How can it know what a school tests — and can I trust it?
The format comes from each school's own published admissions information, held as verified profile data and reviewed weekly. It's the same sourced, dated data used across Houseroom. Where a school doesn't publish its exact paper format, we say so plainly rather than fill the gap with a guess.
