How Pass Masters helps

English

Comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation and grammar practice that gets harder as your child improves, with step-by-step explanations.

Maths

Arithmetic, problem solving, fractions, ratio, geometry and data questions pitched to your child's year, from Year 3 up to early KS3 stretch work in Year 7.

Science

Pass Masters does not teach science content yet. Its reasoning practice still builds the careful reading and problem-solving that science papers reward.

CAT4-style reasoning

UKiset includes reasoning sections similar to CAT4. Our CAT4-style tests practise verbal, non-verbal and spatial reasoning under time.

Miss Obstein, our AI tutor

In topic practice and subject quizzes, Miss Obstein gives hints without giving away answers, then explains mistakes once your child has answered.

Suggested practice timeline

  1. Year 4: Build confidence and two-step reasoning across a wide range of topics, a little and often.
  2. Year 5: Deepen maths and English, start verbal and non-verbal reasoning in earnest, and add light timing.
  3. Year 6 (autumn): Timed, exam-style practice papers in the months before Wycombe Abbey's 11+ assessments.
  4. Year 6: Secure Year 6 maths and English and build reasoning stamina before 13+ assessments begin.
  5. Year 7: Early KS3 stretch work to keep skills sharp. For Year 8 Common Entrance or scholarship papers, your child will need extra subject study beyond Pass Masters.
