Benchmark Tests are the only way to confirm your child has truly mastered a grade level — not just completed it. Discover why 100% completion doesn't mean 100% understanding.
What we've discovered after 3 years running Ambition International School on MobyMax
"My child reached 100% in Grade 5 Maths, so they've mastered Grade 5 Maths."
Students typically score around 40% when tested on that "completed" grade.
Reaching 100% means your child has worked through all the content — but not necessarily retained it all. Some concepts were understood briefly then forgotten. Others were passed by guessing or with hints. Benchmark Tests reveal the truth by testing every single standard in that grade, with no hints, no second chances — just pure assessment of what they actually know.
The proven process used at Ambition International School
Child reaches 100% completion in a grade level
→Tests every standard in that grade (~90 min for Maths)
→Below 80%? Complete assigned remedial work
→Repeat until 80%+ achieved = true mastery ✓
Real results we see at Ambition International School
Without Benchmark Tests, this student would have moved on believing they had mastered Grade 5 — while actually missing 60% of the content.
Benchmark Tests are available for these essential subjects
Why these 5 subjects? These are the foundational subjects that build upon each other. Mastering Maths and Language unlocks success in all other areas. The three Reading subjects ensure complete literacy development.
This level of educational expertise cannot be automated or mass-produced
Each benchmark assessment requires expert analysis, custom test selection, and remediation planning.
No two children receive the same benchmark plan. Tests are selected based on individual learning history.
Our team continuously updates benchmark standards to align with international curricula changes and educational best practices.
Every time your child reaches 100% on a grade in any of the core subjects. This ensures complete mastery before moving to the next grade level.
Regular MobyMax tests check if a lesson was understood. Benchmark Tests measure overall grade-level proficiency against international standards and provide comprehensive remedial lessons for any gaps identified.
The Benchmark Test takes up to 90 minutes to complete.
The first round of remedial work typically takes 1-2 weeks if your child scored around 50%. This initial round often includes the most lessons as it addresses all identified gaps. Subsequent rounds are completed much faster — usually within 3-5 days — as the number of remedial lessons decreases significantly with each Benchmark Test. By the third round, most children only need to work through a handful of lessons to achieve mastery.
Benchmark Tests are exclusive to Silver and Gold tier subscribers due to the intensive expert involvement required. Bronze subscribers can upgrade at any time to access this premium feature.
Benchmark Tests ensure your child isn't just completing content — they're truly learning it.
