03 / PRACTISE THE THINKINGPractise the same skill.
Practise the same skill.
In different situations.
Help your child use a method when a question looks unfamiliar. Each topic brings together different formats and contexts, with diagrams where useful, so they can work through the idea behind the answer.
- Read the question and identify what is known
- Use the diagram when one is provided
- Try an answer before opening the explanation

Original practice examples from the SPGS fractions topic.04 / GET HELP WITH THE WHYWhen they get stuck,
When they get stuck,
help is part of the practice.
Your child can break a difficult question into smaller steps and ask about the exact part they don’t understand. They can request a simpler explanation, check the reasoning and then try again.
- Move through the worked steps at your own pace
- Ask about the part you don’t understand
- Check the result against the original question

Let’s break it down.
- Step 1Find the change.¾ − ½ = ¼
- Step 2Scale up to the whole.250 × 4 = 1,000 ml
- Step 3Check both water levels.750 − 250 = 500 ml
Why do we multiply by four?
Because 250 ml fills one quarter. Four equal quarters make a full jug.

Look at your child’s saved answers together and choose a topic to revisit. When they’re ready for a longer session, use a mock set to practise bringing different subjects and skills together.
- See what your child has attempted
- Revisit mistakes and the reasoning behind them
- Move from topic practice to available mock papers

The practical details
Fit practice into
your family’s routine.
Do we have to choose a school first?+
You can try the free question and sample school report immediately. For ongoing practice, choosing a target school helps you find the relevant subject and topic library.
What if our school has no practice library?+
You can still explore its directory information where available. Dedicated practice currently covers five schools; check coverage on the 11+ Practice page before choosing a paid plan.
Should my child use a hint before answering?+
They can try the question first, then open a hint or a worked step when needed. The aim is to understand the method well enough to try a new question independently.
Does progress predict an exam result?+
No. Progress shows practice activity and questions to revisit. It is not a prediction of admissions or future exam performance.
Can I try the whole experience here?+
The website provides a sample report and an interactive question with prepared AI replies. Full workspace access is described in the proposed plans on the Price page.
