What Are MobyMax Benchmark Tests?

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.

The Problem: 100% Completion ≠ 100% Mastery

What we've discovered after 3 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.

How the Benchmark Cycle Works

The proven process used at Ambition International School

1

Complete Grade

Child reaches 100% completion in a grade level

2

Take Benchmark

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

3

Review & Remedial

Below 80%? Complete assigned remedial work

4

Retest

Repeat until 80%+ achieved = true mastery ✓

🔄 Then the cycle repeats for the next grade level your child completes. This ensures every grade is truly mastered.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my child take Benchmark Tests?

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.

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 provide comprehensive remedial lessons for any gaps identified.

How long does the assessment take?

The Benchmark Test takes up to 90 minutes to complete.

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