Start the 21st Century Life Skills Assessment · Class 3 ➜⚙️ How it works
In the Class 3 paper, your child meets 32 short questions — picture scenarios, best-answer checks and “that’s me” questions. Each one lands in one of four skill areas:
How it works
Each area holds four skills — 16 in all, each scored 0 to 100. The strongest area becomes your child's strongest area, named in plain words.
What the report gives you
21st Century Life Skills Assessment — skills profile · Class 3 sample
Stylised preview · scales run amber → green, never red · no ranks, no labels
Certificate included · every one carries a verification code
Every parameter we measure
Class 3 answers its own questions, but the map never changes — four areas, sixteen skills:
How the thinking happens
How they work with people
How they handle themselves
How smartly they live online
🎯 Why this class
“Try again” and “ask before you believe it” are only forming now — Persistence & Grit and Critical Thinking still move with play, not lectures.
Class 3 is the earliest year we assessment, so every later year is measured against this one — never against another child.
Internet Skills & Safety and Media Literacy are scored from Class 3, because that is when screen habits actually start.
Your child walks away with: their strongest of the four skill areas named in plain words, all 16 skills on one amber-to-green scale, one strength and one focus area, six small growth activities sized for Class 3, a page for you and one for the teacher — and a certificate with a verification code.
🗓️ When & why
Does this sound familiar?
👨👩👧A parent
The block tower falls, the tears start, and the blocks go back in the box.The report shows how resilience and persistence are forming at eight — and gives you five-minute games that grow them.
🧑🏫A counsellor / teacher
Thirty Class 3s, one craft period — some share the scissors, some freeze when a step goes wrong.Every child's profile across the four skill areas plus a class pattern, so the next group activity is built on what they actually need.
🧒Your child
Asks 'why' forty times a day, but won't try a puzzle if it looks hard.Curiosity is already a strength — the report names it, and shows which small skill next to it is ready to grow.
The right moments
Class 3 is the earliest year we assessment — the first honest picture of how sharing, trying and bouncing back are forming.
If every setback ends in tears or a shutdown, the resilience and grit scores show what's underneath.
Take it early — the growth plan gives small habits the whole year to set.
Why now, not later: At eight, habits like 'try again' and 'ask before believing' are still soft. Named this year, they get a year of play to settle; next year they're a little harder to shift.
Once a year is enough. Your child is compared only with their own last score — never with another child.
Start the 21st Century Life Skills Assessment · Class 3 ➜🌱 The wheel
Your child's paper covers this whole wheel — asked as small stories and pictures an 8-year-old enjoys.
At this age the wheel usually moves first in Curiosity, Empathy and small Decision Making moments at home. The Digital quarter is just beginning — screen rules count as Internet Safety.

🤔 Parents ask
32, in four short sections — how you think, you and people, you and yourself, your digital world. They are picture scenarios, best-answer checks and “that’s me” questions. The first 8 are free with no card; the rest unlock with the full assessment.
There is a friendly timer of about 24 minutes (45 seconds a question) that pauses between sections. If it runs out the assessment does not stop — your child just gets a gentle “wrap up” nudge.
Sit nearby for the first few. Every question has a picture scene and a tap-to-hear button that reads it aloud, and the answers are simple “that’s me” choices. Read it together if needed — but let your child pick the answer.
No wrong answers, and no marks or ranks. The report gives a skills strongest skill area named in plain words, an overall level from Emerging to Advanced, and a 16-skill wheel — a growth snapshot, not a grade.
Your archetype and overall level, the 21st Century Life Skills & Learning Wheel across 4 areas and 16 skills, a close-up of each skill, a growth plan of activities, a short note each for parents and teachers, and a downloadable PDF with a certificate.
Once a year. The app keeps one result per class year; take it again next year and the report adds a skills-journey chart showing what has changed.
