We needed a way to get my son ready for his SATs in the spring, and our school's practice papers weren't enough. He had been stuck on the reading questions for months. The practice tests here are close to the real thing and the answers explain why each option is right or wrong. He went from struggling to scoring well on the mock.

Brilliant for my two. The daily practice takes about fifteen minutes so it doesn't turn into a fight. Quick to get started and the reminders keep it going. Would sign up again.

Compared to the weekly tutor we were paying for, this is a fraction of the cost and my son is doing more practice than he did with her. The quizzes tell you straight away where you went wrong, which saves a lot of back and forth. We stopped the tutor after a month. Not regretting it.

Signed up for the Year 6 pack for my little brother while sat in the car outside his school, and he had his first lesson before we got home. The login emails came straight through and the reading passages were pitched just right for him. Easy to keep track of what he's done, which saves me asking him every night. Good stuff.

The short maths videos are what got me, they're only a couple of minutes and the teacher explains things without talking down to you. Made it through the whole algebra section on the bus. Pretty pleased with it for the money.

Honestly the progress tracking is what made me pick this one. I could see exactly which topics my daughter was weak on and which ones she'd nailed. Looked at two other sites before this and they just gave scores. Really happy with it so far.

We needed something to stop the kids going completely feral over the summer holidays with no school work. They've been doing a bit each morning before they go out on their bikes. Nothing complicated, they just log in and get on with it. Cheap enough that I didn't have to think twice.

I'd compared a few of these before choosing and this one came out ahead on value for us. The other sites wanted more money for fewer subjects, and we only needed maths and English for the year. The dashboard shows what's been covered, which is handy when you're trying to work out what's next. No complaints so far.

The phonics games were the thing that caught my attention, since my grandson loves anything on the tablet. Setting it up was straightforward and it has been running without any fuss. He is keen to carry on with it.

Signed up to the revision bit for my maths GCSE and used the practice papers every night for about six weeks. Quick to set up, just put in my email and I was in. The app worked fine on my phone on the bus, which was the main thing I wanted. Would use again for the next exam.

The weekly progress report is the bit I actually look at, it shows where my daughter is slipping without me having to dig. Cost less than a single private lesson a month. Helpful and to the point.

Went with the reading comprehension bit for my Year 5 and the passages are actually interesting, not the dull stuff from the old workbooks. Compared two others and this was the only one with proper stories. She asks for the next one now.

Yes it's worth it, no question. Got the year's access for my two kids and they're both using it without me nagging. Signing up took about two minutes. Good stuff.

I needed something to help my granddaughter with her spelling, as her mother was finding it a struggle to sit with her each evening. The exercises are gentle and she isn't made to feel silly for getting things wrong. I am very glad we found it.

It's good value for what you get, my daughter uses it most evenings for her science homework. The one thing that annoyed me was the reminder emails, which come too often and I've had to switch them off. Otherwise it does the job.

Compared with the other sites, this is cheaper for the same number of subjects, which is what I wanted. Some of the videos are clear but a few of the English ones feel rushed and cover too much in one go. Fine for a quick practice but I'd want a better pick for something in depth.

Compared to the other revision sites we tried, this one feels better organised and the topics are easier to find. The only niggle is the pages take a while to load on our older tablet, which gets frustrating when you're in the middle of a quiz. Still the one we'll keep using.
