Year 6 papers for 14 schools are free in beta.

The five checks

  1. It follows your school’s test

    Schools set different subjects, timings and answer styles. Practice in the wrong shape builds the wrong habits.

    On Leap: Each school’s exam-day papers are full papers in the shape of its test, timed like it. The school’s page shows what the test covers.

  2. Answers and a mark scheme come with it

    A wrong answer only teaches something when you can see how each mark is earned.

    On Leap: Every Leap school paper has a question paper, an answer sheet and a mark scheme.

  3. Short skill papers, not only full mocks

    A full paper shows where a child is. Short papers on one skill are how they get better.

    On Leap: Shorter build-up papers sit beside the full exam-day papers, so a week can mix both.

  4. Diagrams print whole, at full size

    Maps, charts and non-verbal reasoning shapes need to be read at the size the test prints them.

    On Leap: Every paper is an A4 PDF to print, or your child can practise it online.

  5. Marking leads to a next step

    A score alone doesn’t say what to practise tomorrow.

    On Leap: Take a photo of the finished paper. Leap marks it and suggests what to practise next.
