Find exactly where your child needs help.

- No card needed
How PrepNest helps your child
Four steps, and the first one is free.
Step 1
Your child takes a test
A short, free test on screen, at their year level.
Step 2
We find the weak spots
The exact skills to work on, area by area.
Step 3
We keep fine-tuning
Follow-up questions and re-tests firm it up.
Step 4
You watch them improve
Practice made for them, and progress you can see.
A short test that feels like a game.
Your child answers one question at a time on screen, at their year level, or in one VCE subject. Diagrams and maths look exactly as they do on a real paper.
It takes 20 to 35 minutes, needs no account to start, and saves as they go. Saying I'm not sure is encouraged: an honest skip tells us more than a lucky guess.

See exactly what they know, and what they don't yet.
You get a clear report, weakest area first: the specific skills to work on, the ones that are already secure, and every question explained.
Each area comes with three practical ways to help at home, written for parents, not teachers.

Mia’s results
Mia answered 17 of 32 questions correctly. Statistics & Probability is a strength. The area to focus on is Geometry & Measurement. Number & Operations may need work too, but there were too few questions to be sure.

Built not to over-read a short test.
One wrong answer is never called a weakness. Where a result could go either way, the test asks a few more questions, and every area says how firm its result is.
Each re-test adds to the picture, so it gets more accurate the more your child uses it.
A few more questions
Chosen from the first part's answers, before anything is reported.

- StatisticsStrengthClear result
Seven of seven — no more questions needed
Answers marked as a guess, or tapped in two seconds, are not counted.
Practice made for them, and progress you can see.
Then you generate practice papers on your child's weak spots — on screen, with a pad for working out, or printed with an answer key. Three a month are included in the plan for Grade 3 to Year 10, and each is $20 for VCE.
Re-test every few weeks. It never repeats a question, and your dashboard shows each area improving, slipping or holding steady.
