The Real Grade Levels
Why Are So Many Kids Behind?
CAPS is 2-3 Years Behind
South African curriculum standards lag international benchmarks. A child "on grade level" for CAPS is already behind globally.
Gaps Compound Over Time
Miss fractions in Grade 4? You'll struggle with percentages in Grade 5, ratios in Grade 6, and algebra in Grade 7. One gap creates many.
Schools Move On Regardless
Traditional schools advance children by age, not mastery. The curriculum moves forward whether your child understood it or not.
Grades Hide the Truth
A 60% on a test looks acceptable — but internationally, that same content might score 30%. Report cards don't show the real picture.
How MobyMax Grade Levels Actually Work
Unlike traditional schools that group children by age, MobyMax meets each child at their actual working level in every subject. Here's the three-step process that makes MobyMax grade levels work for your child.
Placement Test
Your child takes a diagnostic test in each subject. MobyMax identifies their actual working level — not their age or official grade. This typically takes 15-30 minutes per subject.
Personalised Path
MobyMax creates a custom learning path for each subject, starting exactly where your child needs to begin. No wasted time on content they've mastered or frustration with content that's too advanced.
Adaptive Progress
As your child masters skills, MobyMax automatically advances them to the next level. Struggling with a concept? It provides additional practice and different explanations until mastery is achieved.
