Everything CHATT+ does
Four ways to practise, eleven papers to sit across the 11+ and SATs, and a record of what each child has done. No setup, no lesson plans to build, nothing to print.
The question bank
18,500+ questions and 1,800+ question sets are published and ready to practise, spread across 90 topics for three exams. A question set is a passage or a puzzle with several questions attached to it. A comprehension, for instance, is one passage and everything asked about it.

11+ GL13,500+ questions · 52 topics
Written in the GL Assessment style, primarily for Ripon Grammar School entrance.
11+ FSCE4,200+ questions · 18 topics
The FSCE 11+: reading, vocabulary, spelling and maths, against the clock.
SATs5,000+ questions · 39 topics
The Year 6 KS2 tests, set out the way the real papers are.
The bank is larger than that, and it grows: new questions go in most weeks. Only published ones are put in front of a child, so anything still being written or checked stays out of the way.
Four ways to practise
The same bank, approached four different ways, depending on what the sitting is for.
A whole subject
Questions drawn from every topic in the subject, mixed. Good when you do not know what needs work yet.
One topic
Pick one of the 90 topics and stay on it. Good when you do.
Tell us if one looks wrong
Every question has a Report button. Your child picks a reason, adds a note if they want to, and it reaches the tutors. Practice carries on either way. It is the main way the bank gets better.
A timed paper
A full paper against the clock, in the shape of the real thing, marked at the end.
Review
Only the questions your child is still getting wrong. Nothing they have already answered correctly comes back.
The timed papers
Eleven designs, not eleven papers. Each is a recipe — how many questions, drawn from which topics, in how long — and a new paper is built from the bank every time your child sits one, so the same design never comes back the same twice.

SATs, the way Year 6 sits them
On the real KS2 papers, arithmetic and spelling are written answers rather than a choice of four, so on CHATT+ they are typed. And every SATs paper is scored the way the real one is.
Arithmetic is typed
Your child types the answer, in the box straight after the calculation or in place of the square in a missing-number question. Fractions get a whole-number box and a numerator over a denominator.
Spellings are read aloud
Each word is spoken, then in a sentence, then once more, and typed into the gap in the printed sentence. The marks come at the end, with every word beside what was typed.
Scored in marks
A question worth three marks shows it and counts for three, so the result reads the way a KS2 paper is marked: 31 of 40, not 31 of 36.
Review: the questions that are still wrong
This is the part that does the work, and it is the part a stack of worksheets cannot do.
Every answer your child gives is recorded. Review builds its queue from the questions they have got wrong and have not yet got right, so it is never a fresh random sample and never the whole subject again.
A question drops out of the pile as soon as they answer it correctly. The pile shrinks as they improve, which means an empty review queue is a real thing to aim at rather than a number that only ever goes up.
One account, every child
Progress belongs to the child rather than to the account. Add a profile for each child and each keeps their own record, their own streak and their own review pile.
Separate progress
Switch between children on the same device. Nothing one child answers counts towards the other.
Streaks
A count of the days in a row your child has practised. A small reason to open it tomorrow as well.
Medals
Awarded at 100, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000 questions answered. For work put in, never for scores: a medal cannot be lost on a bad day.
Each child on the account is £9.99 a month. see how billing works.
On the tablet it will actually be used on
CHATT+ runs in a browser, and on a tablet or a phone it can be added to the home screen, where it opens full screen with its own icon like any other app.
Installable
Add to home screen on an iPad or an Android tablet. No app store, no download, no updates to install.
Reminders
An optional daily reminder to practise, so that it becomes a habit rather than something you have to ask for.
Any device
The same account works on a tablet, a laptop or a phone, whatever is to hand.
One thing worth knowing
Said here rather than left to be discovered later.
CHATT+ is on the web, not in the App Store
You can add it to the home screen of a tablet and it will look and behave like any other app, but you will not find it by searching the App Store or Google Play.
Which means there is nothing to update
Every child is always on the current version. When we add questions or fix something, it is simply there the next time they open it.
