Starting high school? Make sure they're ready.
A 20-minute check of the maths and English that Year 7 builds on. Then a 4-week summer plan made from the result, and a report for you that says what they've got and what to work on.
Try the check free $19 for the plan and reportWritten to the NSW syllabus: what students are expected to know by the end of Year 6.
The check
Ten areas: whole numbers, multiplying and dividing, fractions and percentages, measurement and time, patterns, data and chance, reading, vocabulary, spelling, grammar. Marked straight away.
A 4-week summer plan
Five 15-minute sessions a week on the areas they need most, with practice questions marked as they go. Week 4 ends with the check again, so you see the change.
A report for you
Ready, nearly there or needs work for each area, in plain English. Plus six weeks of full access for them, into the start of Term 1.
The readiness check
Let your child do this on their own, without a calculator, in one sitting. About 20 minutes. Skip anything they don't know.

Questions parents ask
When should they do it?
Any time in Term 4 or the summer holidays. Doing the check early leaves all four weeks for the plan.
Does my child need an account?
Not for the check: they can do it on your device. For the plan's practice sessions they use their own free account, linked to yours with a code, so you see their progress.
Is this a test they can fail?
No. It shows what's solid and what to practise. Most children are "nearly there" somewhere.
What happens after six weeks?
Their account goes back to the free plan, with everything they did kept. Nothing renews.
