The MTC (Multiplication Tables Check) has been created for the Government to find out how well children in Year 4 can recall their times tables.

The average score for pupils who took the MTC test in 2025 was 21 out of 25. 37% of children scored 25 out of 25, which is pretty impressive and an increase from both 2023 and 2024.

Our free MTC has helped many children achieve these high scores and even won the Math Category of the Teach Awards.

Every June there is an online, on-screen assessment (MTC) taken by children in Year 4 (aged 8/9). This check will be hard, make no mistake, and if children are to succeed they really will have to know their times tables, ‘off by heart’. Only 6 seconds to answer each of 25 questions geared towards the harder tables such as 7x and 12x and an expectation of 100% correct, leaves no room for error.

We help by giving children the opportunity to experience a near identical check. More than this we also provide feedback on the results and links to helpful resources. These include both on-screen practice and printable worksheets to ensure that they know times tables better before taking the real check. This check and a set of follow up resources are completely free. Just log in or sign up for a 7 day free trial with no commitment.

Even better, we now have a completely free App for those using Apple iPads and iPhones with a free on-screen check and bonus printable worksheets.
