📊 The Heart of the Silver Package

Benchmark Tests: A Real Teacher Confirms Your Child Has Truly Mastered Each Grade

With Silver, one of our teachers personally checks your child's progress, assigns a Benchmark Test the moment they complete a grade, and runs the full mastery cycle for you — so 100% completion becomes 100% confidence.

The Problem: 100% Completion ≠ 100% Mastery

What we've discovered after years running Ambition International School on MobyMax

What Parents Assume

"My child reached 100% in Grade 5 Maths, so they've mastered Grade 5 Maths."

VS

What We've Found

Students typically score around 40% when tested on that "completed" grade.

💡 Why Does This Happen?

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.

What Your Child's Teacher Does For You

Silver isn't a feature you switch on — it's a qualified teacher personally managing your child's mastery

👩‍🏫 A real teacher, working for your child

When you join Silver, one of our teachers takes personal responsibility for your child's benchmarks. They watch your child's progress, step in at exactly the right moment, and carry them all the way through to proven mastery — grade after grade. You don't lift a finger; the expert work is done for you.

👀

1. They check your child's progress

Your child's teacher manually monitors their work and watches for the moment they reach 100% in a grade.

📝

2. They assign the Benchmark Test

The moment a grade is complete, the teacher assigns the right Benchmark Test for that grade and subject.

🎯

3. They assign remedial work

If your child scores below 80%, the teacher assigns targeted remedial work for exactly the gaps found — then a follow-up Benchmark to re-test.

🔁

4. They repeat until mastery

The teacher runs this cycle again and again until your child passes the grade at 80%+ — true, confirmed mastery.

This is skilled, time-intensive work — and it's done by a real teacher

Checking progress, choosing the right tests, planning remedial work and re-testing for every child, every grade, takes genuine teacher time and expertise. That expert teacher service is exactly what your Silver subscription pays for.

How the Benchmark Cycle Works

The proven process your child's teacher runs at every grade

1

Complete Grade

Your child reaches 100% completion in a grade level

2

Teacher Assigns Benchmark

Tests every standard in that grade (~90 min for Maths)

3

Review & Remedial

Below 80%? The teacher assigns targeted remedial work

4

Retest

The teacher repeats until 80%+ = true mastery ✓

🔄 Then the cycle repeats for every grade your child completes — so each one is truly mastered before moving on.

Why Silver Is a Premium Package

You're not paying for software — you're paying for a teacher's time and expertise

Expert Teacher Time

A real teacher checks progress, assigns each benchmark, plans remedial work, and re-tests — for every child, every grade. That hands-on time is the heart of Silver.

Personalised to Your Child

No two children get the same plan. The teacher chooses tests and remedial work based on your child's own results and learning history.

True Mastery, Confirmed

You get more than a completion tick — you get a teacher's confirmation that your child has genuinely mastered each grade before moving on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who actually runs the Benchmark Tests?

On Silver, one of our qualified teachers does. They check your child's progress, assign each Benchmark Test when a grade is completed, assign remedial work for any gaps, and re-test — repeating until your child passes at 80%+. It's a personal, teacher-led service, not an automated feature.

How often does my child take Benchmark Tests?

Every time your child reaches 100% on a grade in any of the core subjects, their teacher assigns a benchmark. This ensures complete mastery before moving to the next grade level.

What's the difference between regular MobyMax tests and Benchmark Tests?

Regular MobyMax tests check if a lesson was understood. Benchmark Tests measure overall grade-level proficiency against international standards — and a teacher provides comprehensive remedial work for any gaps identified.

How long does the remedial work take?

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 with each Benchmark Test. By the third round, most children only need a handful of lessons to achieve mastery.

Can Bronze subscribers access Benchmark Tests?

Benchmark Tests are exclusive to Silver, because they involve a real teacher's time and expertise. Bronze subscribers receive a weekly email showing which benchmarks are now due for their child — so you always know what you're missing — and can upgrade at any time to have a teacher run them.
