Kumon placement test
Every new student takes the Kumon Placement Test at a center with the Instructor watching. The Instructor notes score, speed, concentration and handwriting, then sets a starting level that is deliberately easy so the child begins with success.
Official Kumon placement test ↗Which Kumon level is right for my child?
Kumon is built for families of preschoolers through high schoolers who want steady daily practice in math or reading, and who can keep a child on a 30-minute-a-day homework routine (preschool through high school). Levels are placed by skill, so a level can sit above or below your child’s school grade. When in doubt, start one level lower: early success keeps kids going.
Time per day: About 30 minutes per subject, every day

Questions
What do the Kumon math levels mean?
Math starts at Level 6A (counting) and moves down to Level A, then up through the letters to Level O (calculus). Kumon places students by skill, not grade, and many students work above grade level. Reading runs from 7A through Level L.
