What it does
One app for the whole 11+ — all four tested areas, adaptive practice and the visibility parents actually need.
Adaptive difficulty
Adjusts to each child's accuracy in real time. Raises the challenge where they excel, adds support where they struggle.
Unlimited questions
Questions are generated on-device so the supply is effectively unlimited. No repeating the same problem set.
Parent dashboard
See mastery across all four subjects at a glance. Track accuracy over time and know exactly where to focus.
Virtual pet motivation
A virtual pet grows based on consistent effort, not just correct answers. Encourages a growth mindset during stressful preparation.
Progress tracking
Detailed per-subject breakdown shows which areas are strong and which need more practice before exam day.
Know exactly where to focus
Most 11+ resources leave parents guessing whether revision is actually working. The parent dashboard puts mastery across every subject in one place, so you can spend practice time where it counts.
- Mastery across English, VR, NVR and the LAT at a glance.
- Accuracy tracked over time, per subject.
- Unlimited on-device questions — no fixed bank to burn through.
- A one-time purchase, not a monthly subscription.

Who it's for
Cognithix is for families preparing for grammar school entry who want a clear 11+ preparation app instead of stitching together separate resources for English, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, and the LAT. It is particularly relevant if you are searching for an Atom Learning alternative or an 11+ app for iPhone.
Broader exam coverage
The all-in-one positioning matters. LAT coverage gives Cognithix a stronger story than many general 11+ products.
Native mobile workflow
Cognithix is an iPhone-first 11+ app rather than a web platform repackaged for mobile — and it works offline.
Unlimited practice
On-device question generation means a child never just burns through a fixed bank of questions.
Parent visibility
The parent dashboard makes the product easier to trust for adults paying and trying to understand whether revision is working.
