Real spaced repetition, not a fixed word list

Vocabulary That's Tracked Word by Word,
on a schedule built to actually stick

Every word in the bank moves through its own new → learning → mastered journey, resurfacing right before it's likely to be forgotten rather than on a fixed weekly schedule. Six practice modes pull from the same 189-word 11+ bank, from quick flashcards to full sentence completion.

Mastery stages

Nothing is graded once and forgotten

Every attempt reschedules that specific word's next review. Get it right and it's pushed further out: 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 21, then 28 days apart. Get it wrong and it resets straight back to day one, no matter how far up the ladder it had climbed.

Six ways to meet the same word

Flashcards, Synonym Match, Antonym Match, Sentence Completion, Mixed Practice, and a Daily Challenge that blends due reviews with new words, the same word bank, tested from different angles rather than one repeated format.

Built for real 11+ vocabulary

All 189 words are tagged for the 11+ exam specifically, across three difficulty levels, each with a plain-English definition, synonyms, antonyms and an example sentence, not a generic school list repurposed for this page.

How it actually works

Three stages, and a schedule that adapts to each word

This is the exact system behind the real dashboard: nothing simplified or left out for this page.

The journey of one word

The three mastery stages

New
No progress recorded yet: a word only gets a review row the first time it's actually answered, in any mode.
Learning
Answered at least once and climbing the review ladder, anywhere from stage 1 up to stage 5 of 7, reviewed at a growing gap each time it's answered correctly.
Mastered
Reached stage 6, the top of the ladder. Mastered words aren't finished, though: they're still checked in on every 14 days to confirm they've actually stuck.

A word's stage is stored per student, per word, so the same word can be "new" for one child and "mastered" for another.

The actual scheduling rule

How the review schedule adapts, word by word

Every word carries its own stage, starting at 0. A correct answer moves it up one stage and reschedules its next review 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 21 or 28 days out depending which stage it's reached, so a word answered correctly several times running waits far longer before resurfacing than one just met for the first time.

A wrong answer resets that word straight back to stage 0, whatever stage it had reached, even a word already marked mastered. There's no partial credit for having known it once. Once a word truly reaches the top of the ladder, it's still checked in on every 14 days rather than considered "done".

A real account, mid-practice

Every mode, exactly as it works on the real dashboard

Each session pulls 10 words at a time from the same 189-word bank. Every mode below works exactly as described on the real dashboard, nothing simplified for this page.

Daily Challenge

Today's due reviews first, topped up with new words to fill a full 10-word session, the one mode that adapts to exactly what's overdue right now.

Flashcards

Flip through words at your own pace: word on the front, definition, synonyms, antonyms and an example sentence on the back. Self-rated as "I knew it" or "Still learning".

Synonym Match

Pick the word that means the same as the word shown, from a set of multiple-choice options.

Antonym Match

Pick the word that means the opposite. Only draws from the 185 of 189 words that have at least one antonym listed.

Sentence Completion

A real example sentence with the target word missing: fill the gap from a set of options.

Mixed Practice

Synonyms, antonyms and sentence gaps all mixed together in one session, a different question type for almost every word.
