Free numeracy practice designed for special needs learners โ short, step-by-step questions on money, time, decimals, fractions and more, with encouragement instead of red crosses.
Start free math practice ๐The Workplace Literacy and Numeracy (WPLN) assessments measure English and numeracy skills across eight proficiency levels. They are delivered by the British Council in collaboration with SkillsFuture Singapore, and are widely used in Singapore โ including by special education schools โ to certify school leavers' workplace readiness.
For many special needs students, the numeracy paper is the hardest step. The question formats โ money, time and scheduling, measurement, everyday computation โ reward regular, low-pressure practice far more than last-minute revision.
WPLN Prep was built by a parent of an autistic teenager working toward his own WPLN goals. Every design choice comes from real practice sessions at our own dining table:
โ One question at a time โ no walls of text, no timers, no pressure.
๐ก Coaching, not rejection โ a nearly-right answer gets a hint about the form, not just a cross.
๐๏ธ Watch how to solve โ animated step-by-step workings for every question type.
๐ Parent view โ see what was practised, what was tricky, and improvement over time.
Every account gets a generous set of free questions each day โ enough for a full daily session. A paid Parent Plan with unlimited practice, richer progress reports and coaching hints is coming; you can join the waitlist inside the app.
English literacy practice is also in the works, on this same site.
