How Ilmino helps

Practise it, get it marked, know what is next.

Marked like the real exam

Every answer, typed or handwritten, is marked against the actual mark scheme, with the reason for every mark shown alongside your answer.

Lumi explains the step you missed

When a mark is lost, Lumi, the AI tutor, walks through exactly where the working went wrong and what to do differently next time.

One topic free per paper

The first topic in each 11+ paper is free to try, so a family can see how the marking and feedback work before subscribing.

Parent reports

Parents see mastery by topic building over time, so support lands exactly where it is needed without reading every answer.
