When Should a Student Take a Psychometric Test?

We are frequently asked whether psychometric testing is worth doing before Class 10 board exams. Our answer is consistently yes, and earlier than most parents expect.

A psychometric read done in Class 9 gives a student three full years to build a genuinely coherent profile — course selection, extracurriculars, and summer programmes that reinforce rather than scatter. Done in Class 11, the same test only tells you what you have already missed.
