How it works
Find out what your child has actually misunderstood
Most practice tells you a score. A score tells you a child got six out of ten and nothing at all about which six, or why. Otakids is built around the why.
A short check, not a test
A check is about fifteen questions and takes ten minutes. Your child can say “I’m not sure” to any of them, and that answer is genuinely useful — a guess that happens to be right teaches us nothing.
There is no pass mark, no time pressure and no leaderboard. Nothing about a check is designed to make a child hurry.
Wrong answers are the interesting part
Every wrong answer a child can choose was written on purpose, by a teacher, to represent one specific misunderstanding. When your child picks one, we know which misunderstanding it was — not just that they were wrong.
We only say a child has misunderstood something after seeing it twice. Once is a slip.
Then practice aims at that
What comes next is chosen: the things they got wrong recently, the ideas that are still shaky, and the ones due for another look before they fade. Not more of everything.
In plain words
Your report says what your child can do and what to try next. No jargon, no scores out of ten.
Never a rank
We never compare your child to other children, and we never show a percentile. It would tell you nothing you can act on.
A snapshot, not a verdict
A check is what one child did on one day. We say so on the report, because it is true.
Written by a teacher
The questions are written by a Guru Cemerlang against the Malaysian curriculum.
See it before you decide
The Thinking Skills Check is free and needs no account. It takes ten minutes and shows you the kind of report you would get.
Ready when you are
Setting up takes about five minutes, and you can add one child to start.
