Start the 21st Century Life Skills Assessment · Class 9 ➜⚙️ How it works
The Class 9 paper gives you 60 questions — real situations, best-answer checks and honest “that’s me” questions. There are no wrong answers. Each question 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 strongest area, named in plain words.
What the report gives you
21st Century Life Skills Assessment — skills profile · Class 9 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 9 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
Your marksheet never scores Decision Making, Leadership or Resilience & Coping — this does, on 16 separate scales.
Knowing which of the four skill areas is your strongest is one solid input into a conversation everyone else is guessing at.
Persistence & Grit and Resilience & Coping are the two skills those years will actually assessment — see them before the pressure does.
You walk away with: your strongest of the four skill areas named in plain words, all 16 skills on one amber-to-green scale, one named strength and one focus area, six growth activities sized for Class 9, a page for your parents and one for your teacher — and a certificate with a verification code.
🗓️ When & why
Does this sound familiar?
🎒The student
The workload doubled and you're doing everything at 11 pm — starting late, not finishing, starting again.Resilience, initiative and grit are scored on their own. The report shows which one's actually slipping — and the small fix that helps most.
👨👩👧A parent
Marks held, but the sport was dropped, the club was dropped, and the door stays shut.Coping and persistence get their own scores. You'll see how the workload is landing on them — and what to do that isn't 'study more'.
🧑🏫A counsellor / teacher
Thirty Class 9s, one period, and the board-year pressure already showing on half the desks.Class-wide resilience and decision-making patterns tell you who to check on first, and give you a session plan and a parent brief before Class 10 starts.
The right moments
Class 9 hits harder than Class 8 — grit and resilience decide how the year feels.
Work on your focus area now. Class 10 leaves no room for it.
Media literacy is a real score here, not a lecture — find out if you can actually spot the fakes.
Why now, not later: Class 10 leaves no room for building skills. Named this year, a focus area gets twelve months of practice before the board year needs it.
Once a year is enough. You're compared only with your own last score — never with anyone else.

🤔 Parents ask
60, in four short sections — how you think, you and people, you and yourself, your digital world. They are real situations (what would you do?), best-answer checks and honest “that’s me” ratings — more situational-judgement scenarios than the middle classes. The first 15 are free with no card; the rest unlock with the full assessment.
There is a friendly timer of about 45 minutes (45 seconds a question) that pauses between sections. If it runs out the assessment does not stop — the student just gets a gentle “wrap up” nudge.
Yes — it is built to be taken alone on a phone or laptop. Progress saves automatically, so it can be finished in a second sitting if needed. There is nothing to prepare and nothing to revise.
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.
