Why these eight?
These are the skills 0606 leans on without re-teaching. Indices and surds in particular are assumed knowledge in the current syllabus, so a shaky foundation there is worth catching early. See the full syllabus topics.
Readiness questions, answered
Is this an official Cambridge test?
No. It is a quick self-check of the foundations 0606 assumes you already have, so you can see where to focus before or soon after starting. Indices and surds, for example, are assumed knowledge in the 2025-2027 syllabus rather than taught content, so a shaky foundation there shows up fast.
My child scored low. Should we worry?
Not at all. A low score just means a few foundations are worth firming up first, which is far better to know now than mid-course. Every one of these skills is quick to rebuild with focused help, and the trial class is a good way to pinpoint which ones.
What is a good time to start Add Math tutoring?
It depends on the student, but the honest general answer is: as soon as the foundations are the thing holding them back, rather than waiting for grades to slip. Our guide on when to start tutoring goes into the timing in more detail.
A self-check points the way. A specialist confirms it.
The 1-hour trial class turns this into a concrete plan: a vetted tutor checks the foundations on real questions and tells you exactly what to firm up first. At your tutor's rate, no package.
