Which AI models is anyone using to support 11 plus tuition?

[ToilingAway]

Currently I am teaching my DS in year 4 by solidifying core concepts and buying online test papers however I was wondering is anyone using Ai models like Anthropic, Claude, Gemini to assist their child by creating test papers and and learning aids to improve understanding.

Or any ideas how else they are using the models for older siblings to assist with their school work?

Why would you risk it? AI can hallucinate answers. A Bond or CGP preparation book will have been prepared and proof read by people who know what the hell they are doing. Use those.

AI is crap at nonverbal reasoning. There are pretty good books so use those

Exactly this

Hi @ToilingAway !

I echo earlier comments.

For Maths and certain Non-Verbal Reasoning problems - e.g. patterns on cubes - try BBC Bitesize.

For English, reading with your child is very powerful academically and intellectually. And just emotionally special!

And try a Tutor independent of your family.

Yes- all of them can do (paid pro version for better reasoning capabilities/accuracy). Need a bit of prompt engineering/data feeding for higher quality and less hallucination. I have created interactive learning/tests for DD to use occasionally but do not rely on them because I’d like less screen time. DD also figured out a way to create flashcards automatically to support learning. Not for 11+ but general learning.

An alternative way is to just use a custom-made App and pay a subscription (eg. Atom) and save the fees for AI tools.

I used ChatGPT for my son to practice the interview. He felt more comfortable interacting with the computer than with me. And took in the feedback on his answers.

it was rubbish at the tests though as most of them are visual and chat couldn’t/wouldn’t replicate. Completely pointless.

I train AI and can confirm that LLMs are typically terrible with 11 plus type questions. They are not good at the type of reasoning involved.
