  3. Get the full report. Strengths and gaps in 4 areas, emailed to you, plus a free assessment at your nearest Success Tutoring centre if you’d like one.

Questions parents ask

Is it really free?

Yes. The check and the report are free. We only ask for your details at the end so we can send you the full report and match you to your nearest centre.

What do you do with my child’s information?

We only keep your child’s school year and, if you give it, their first name. We never ask children for personal details. Your contact details are only collected from you, at the end, with your permission.

Is it a test?

No. It is a quick snapshot to help you see where your child is at. It is not a formal assessment, and it is fine if they don’t know some answers.
