Planet BOFA is an online learning and assessment platform for the UK 11+, KS2, and related entrance exams. It is not a traditional live-course or 1-to-1 tutoring service; instead, it uses a “test — targeted practice and explanations — delayed retest” workflow to help students identify and address weak areas. Its question bank covers maths, English, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning. The site states that it offers more than 25,000 questions and aligns with Key Stage 2, CEM, GL Assessment, and related exam content.
The platform’s key strength is its adaptive system. Based on a student’s date of birth, exam date, and current performance, it estimates an appropriate starting difficulty, then raises or lowers the level when consecutive results meet or fall below set thresholds. Each question is designed as a “triplet”: students first take an initial test, then review explanations and similar practice questions, and finally complete a retest to check whether they have truly mastered the concept. Parents and teachers can receive reports showing incorrect answers, correct answers, explanations, and topic-level weaknesses. Trophies, medals, punctuality rewards, and progress incentives also help keep children motivated to practise consistently.
Pricing is relatively transparent. Planet BOFA offers a 7-day free trial, after which it automatically converts to a monthly subscription. The plan costs £9.50/month for 1 child and can be cancelled from the subscription page. One-off 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions are also available. Note that a payment method is required when signing up for the free trial; if you do not want to continue, you should set an end date or cancel in advance. The website displays a phone support number and repeatedly mentions its support team, but there is no clear information about Chinese-language customer service or localized support.
Its advantages include relatively low pricing, instant feedback, detailed reports, and a personalized learning path. It is especially suitable for parents who want to monitor 11+ preparation in a data-driven way. Founder Andrew Baines has many years of teaching experience and has contributed to Bond Assessment books, which adds credibility to the content. The limitations are that it mainly serves the UK exam system and offers limited value for progression within China’s domestic education system; the teaching language is English; and the format is focused on automated testing and practice, so it may not suit students who need live explanations, interactive Q&A, or Chinese-language guidance.
Planet BOFA is better suited to students preparing for the UK 11+, 8+, 12+, ISEB, Consortium exams, or KS2 consolidation, as well as parents, tutors, and schools that want to use reports to guide targeted improvement. The text does not state how well it works from China, so network accessibility, payment success rate, and loading speed would need to be tested in practice. If access or payment is restricted, UK exam-prep alternatives such as Bond Online, Atom Learning, and CGP 11+ may be worth considering; for general core-subject practice, IXL or Khan Academy can be used as supplementary options.
