Set up in minutes, progress in weeks
Cour.pro UK takes the guesswork out of preparing for the 11+, KS2 SATs and GCSEs. Here’s exactly what happens from the moment you start — and how the adaptive engine works behind the scenes.
Take a short baseline
Your child works through a quick, low-pressure diagnostic — usually 15 to 20 minutes per subject. It samples a range of difficulties to find their genuine starting point across maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning (or their GCSE subjects). There’s no pass or fail; it simply calibrates where to begin so nothing is too easy or too hard.
Follow the personalised plan
From the baseline, Cour.pro builds a daily plan tailored to your child. Each session mixes new learning, targeted recovery on weak spots and quick reviews of older topics so they stay sharp. Sessions are deliberately short — around 15 to 25 focused minutes — because steady daily practice beats occasional cramming. The plan re-shapes itself every day based on how the last session went.
Track progress together
You get clear weekly reports and an at-a-glance dashboard showing strengths, gaps and momentum. Your child gets streaks, badges and small wins that keep them motivated. When a mock exam approaches, the plan shifts towards timed, full-length papers to build exam-room confidence.
The adaptive algorithm, in plain English
No black box. Here’s how Cour.pro decides what your child sees next.
It estimates ability
For each strand, we hold a running estimate of how confident your child is. Every answer nudges that estimate up or down — a correct answer to a hard question moves it more than an easy one.
It picks the next question
The engine aims for questions your child has roughly a 70–80% chance of getting right. That’s the sweet spot: challenging enough to learn from, not so hard it’s disheartening.
It schedules reviews
Topics your child has mastered come back at widening intervals (spaced repetition) so they’re remembered for the exam, not just for tomorrow.
It traces gaps to their root
When errors cluster, we look for the underlying skill behind them and schedule targeted recovery before moving on.
It has sensible guard-rails
Difficulty is capped by year group, sessions stay short, and a run of wrong answers triggers a confidence-rebuilding set rather than more hard questions.
You stay in control
You can see the plan, adjust subjects and pace, and pause whenever life gets busy. The algorithm assists your judgement; it never overrides it.
We never use a child’s learning data to profile them for advertising or to make significant automated decisions about them. It exists for one purpose: to choose better practice. Read more in our Children’s Privacy Notice.
How it works — your questions
Around 15 to 20 minutes per subject. Children can split it across sessions, and there’s no pass or fail — it’s purely to calibrate the starting point.
We recommend one short session of 15 to 25 minutes on most days. Consistency matters far more than length, and the plan is built around that rhythm.
Yes. The parent dashboard shows the current plan, recent activity, strengths and gaps, plus a weekly summary email. You can adjust subjects and pace at any time.
The engine adjusts automatically after each answer. If something is consistently too hard, it steps back to rebuild foundations; if it’s too easy, it raises the challenge — all within sensible limits for the year group.
11+ in GL- and CEM-style formats (verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, maths and English), KS2 SATs foundations, and core GCSE subjects. See age groups for the detail.
Many families use Cour.pro on its own; others use it alongside a tutor or school to make practice time more targeted. Either way, it gives everyone a clear, shared picture of progress.
