The free 11 plus app for UK families
SharpY Mind is a genuinely free 11 plus app: Maths, English, Vocabulary and Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning for the GL Assessment, ISEB Pre-Test, CSSE, Sutton SET and bespoke grammar school exams. No account, no ads, no card, and nothing leaves your child's device.
What "free" actually gets you
Most 11 plus apps advertise a free trial and then move to a monthly subscription, commonly between £20 and £60 a month. SharpY Mind is built the other way round: the core practice is free to use for as long as you want, and the optional paid account only adds convenience features, never the actual questions.
- 145+ topics across Maths, English and Vocabulary — unlimited practice, capped at 40 questions per day on the free tier
- Timed Mock Tests (10/20/30 questions, 10–30 minute limits) and full GL-style Mock Papers
- 650+ word vocabulary flashcard deck with spaced repetition, audio and a 60-second Word Blitz game
- 50+ reading-comprehension passages — fiction, non-fiction and poetry, with worked explanations
- Printable worksheets with matching answer sheets, for pen-and-paper practice away from a screen
- Parent progress report showing mastery by topic and the weakest areas to focus on next
- No sign-up to start, no ads, no third-party trackers; by default all progress stays in your browser
Optional Family Account (email + password): adds cloud sync across devices, multiple sibling profiles and a 30-day unlimited-practice trial. It is never required. Pricing and access details can change — the Home page Access section is the current source of truth.

|---|---|---|
| Cost to use the full topic bank | Free, no card, 40 questions/day | Usually £20–£60/month after a trial |

Paid apps such as Atom Learning, CGP and others have large question banks and structured courses, and they suit families who want a full guided programme. SharpY Mind is the option when you want strong, exam-aligned practice at no cost and without handing over card details or your child's data.
Every part of the 11+ it covers
- Maths — Number, Fractions/Decimals/Percentages, Ratio & Algebra, Measures, Geometry, Statistics, and multi-step Word Problems
- English — reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, spelling and writing skills
- Verbal Reasoning — odd-one-out, analogies, missing-letter puzzles, word-in-context
- Non-Verbal Reasoning — odd-one-out, sequences, matrices, coding
Set your child's year group (Year 3–5) and target school in Settings, and the app adjusts the mix automatically — including switching Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning on for the boards that test them.
Who it's for
Parents starting 11+ preparation who want to try before paying; families using a tutor who need extra practice between sessions; and anyone preparing for a UK grammar school or independent school entrance exam who wants a free, private, no-login option. It works on any phone, tablet or computer.
