# AlphaTest

> AlphaTest is an AI-powered 11+ exam preparation platform for UK grammar school entrance exams. It helps Year 6 pupils aged 10–11 practise English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning through adaptive AI-generated questions, an AI Tutor chatbot, mock exams, gamification, peer benchmarking, parent analytics, and Stripe-billed subscriptions.
