MYM Chess Program - Self Assessment Test

 

Unsure what level of the program you should sign up for? Try the below self assessment test!  

 

There are a total of 5 levels with 5 puzzles each level.  If you can solve the current set easily, move on to the next set. The moment you could not solve all 5 puzzles in the current set, that should be a rough indicator which level you belong to. 

 

This self-assessment test is used as a rough guide and we may ask to do a game assessment to confirm the right level.  Our academy offers 5 different levels and please click the below link to see each level with its curriculum info.
