11+ Timing Pressure Trainer
Work any paper against a real exam clock, then see exactly where the time went.
Which paper are you practising?
Pick the exam you are working towards, or choose Custom and copy the timing off the paper in front of you.
How far along are you?
Start where your child is now, not where you want them to be. Move up once they are beating the target on most questions.
Set up the session
Short beats long. Ten to fifteen questions is plenty on a school night.

How to use this with your child
Three things separate a timer from real timing practice.
Accuracy first, speed second
If your child is getting questions wrong, going faster makes it worse. Stay on the early stages until the answers are reliably right.
The skill is moving on
Most marks are lost when one question eats four minutes. When the ring turns red, the right move is a sensible guess and a mark in the margin.
Compare like with like
A short session on easy questions will always look quicker. Track the trend for the same paper and stage, not one number.
About the trainer
How to use it
Open any practice paper or workbook your child already has, pick the exam board above, and press start. Your child works on paper as normal and taps the screen each time they finish a question. The trainer times every question against the pace of the real exam and shows you exactly where the time went.
Which exams it covers
The presets cover GL Assessment, CEM style papers, CSSE, FSCE and the ISEB Pre-Test, using published timings where boards release them and clearly-flagged estimates where they do not. The custom option copies the question count and time limit straight off whatever paper is in front of you.
For parents
Every session is saved on your device only, with no account and nothing uploaded. After you mark the answers, add the score to the report and it will tell you honestly whether the speed is real or whether accuracy needs to come first. Short bursts work best, so ten to fifteen questions on a school night is plenty.
Start on the gentler stages. A child who is new to timed work gets 60% more time than the exam allows, and the report after each session tells you when to move up. If your child needs more than pace, our interactive mastery lessons teach the topics themselves, question by question.
Paper timings come from published exam information where boards release it, and are marked as estimates where they do not. Timings vary by region and by year, so check your school's own familiarisation guide. Questions: info@shlc-tutor.co.uk.
