Your part

A session with a LevelUp counsellor

One to one, at a time you book. The counsellor explains what the scores mean, then recommends one cohort, or tells you plainly that none fits yet. Cohort fees are shared here, with any scholarship your child earns.

  • Which strength should we build first?
  • What can we try at home this month?
  • Which cohort fits, if any?

The four cohorts: Public Speaking, Communication & Leadership (8–18), AI Filmmaking (11–18), Creative Thinking & Storytelling (8–11) and AI Product Building (12–18).

Merit scholarships

The top 10% of each age band earn a scholarship

50% off for the top 1%, 25% for the top 5%, 15% for the top 10%. Decided by the score alone, and valid for 60 days.

How the comparison is kept fair
What your child does

Five sections, thirty minutes

Each section has its own clock. Your child can skip a question and come back to it within the section. The questions are set for their age: 8–10, 11–13 or 14–18.

Minutes 0–8

Verbal reasoning

Scored the moment they finish

Vocabulary in context, analogies, and reading for what a passage implies.

What the questions look like

  • Pick the word that fits a sentence
  • Finish an analogy
  • Read a short passage and say what it suggests

Why marks are not enough

When a whole class scores above 90, marks stop telling you much

Marks show what a child has learnt for an exam. The Strengths Profile looks at five abilities school doesn't grade, so children who look the same on a report card spread out.

300 children. Nearly all between 88 and 100. Who stands out?The same 300 children, measured on five abilities.

Honest percentiles

A percentile you can check

The 96th percentile means a higher score than 96 in 100 children the same age. That only means something if the comparison is fair, so we keep to these rules.

  1. Same age, same questions

    Your child is compared only with children in the same age band, 8–10, 11–13 or 14–18, who answered the same questions.

  2. The group is named

    The report prints the comparison group and its size, for example "1,240 children aged 11–13, Nov 2026".

  3. No percentile under 100

    Until 100 children in an age band have done the Strengths Profile, you see the score and no percentile at all.

  4. No rank below the middle on the first result

    If the first score is below the median, it shows without a rank. The full report starts with your child's strongest ability.

  5. A pilot group, said plainly

    In the first weeks the comparison is a pilot group, and the report says so.

  6. Not an IQ test

    It gives no IQ score and makes no diagnosis.

Questions parents ask about the Strengths Profile

I came from a cohort page. Is this the same thing?

Yes. The free Strengths Profile is step 2 of every cohort application. Apply from the cohort page and the counsellor starts with the cohort you applied for.

Is this an IQ test?

No. It gives no IQ number and makes no diagnosis. It scores five abilities out of 100: verbal reasoning, logical reasoning, creative thinking, communication, and AI and digital.

What does it cost?

Nothing. The activity, the report and the counsellor session are free. Cohort fees are shared after the profile, in your counsellor session, with any scholarship your child earns.

When does my child do it?

You choose at the end of booking: start straight away on your device, send the link to your child's phone, tablet or laptop (it stays open for 3 days), or pick a time and add it to your calendar. It is done once, in one sitting.

Which questions will my child get?

The set for their age: 8–10, 11–13 or 14–18. Each age band has its own questions, and your child is compared only with children who answered the same ones.

Can my child prepare?

There is nothing to learn by heart. Trying the sample questions once is enough to know what to expect. On the day, a rested child in a quiet room, working without help, gives you the truest picture.

Who scores the written answers?

A trained assessor scores creative thinking and communication against a fixed rubric. Assessors see a reference number, never your child's name. Typed answers get an AI-assisted first reading only if you agree, on text with names removed, and a person always decides the score.

What happens in the counsellor session?

Twenty minutes, one to one, on the phone or a WhatsApp video call, at a time you book. A LevelUp counsellor goes through what the scores mean and what to do next, and tells you plainly which programme fits, if any.

What if my child doesn't get a scholarship?

Most children don't. Merit scholarships go to the top 10% of each age band, which keeps them meaningful. The report still shows where your child is strong, and the counsellor will tell you plainly whether a programme fits.

What happens to my child's answers?

They are used to score the profile and write the report. Answers are deleted 90 days after our last contact if you don't enrol.

Will this help with school admissions?

We can't promise that, and nobody honest can. The report is for you: where your child is strong today, and what to do next.
