What is Soundcheck?
Soundcheck emulates the government Multiplication Tables Check ("MTC") which all Year 4 students take in June. It's one of the five single-player game modes, available to students at any time.
Soundcheck has two modes:
Normal mode:
25 questions and 6 seconds per question;
designed to look like a regular, colourful and fun TTRS game;
no access arrangements.
MTC Mode:
25 questions and 6 seconds per question;
designed to look like the real MTC, with a black and white colour scheme:
access arrangements can be turned on for specific students (creates a pause between questions).
You can see these different modes, and learn how to switch them on and off, by clicking below:
Do the Soundcheck stats differ depending on which mode Soundcheck is in?
No, all the stats are the same. Read on to learn more about analysing Soundcheck results.
How to view Soundcheck results:
Go to Stats in the left menu.
Select your class.
Click the Soundcheck tab.
Date Period Filtering:
Use the new date filter to track progress over weeks or across terms, helping you check whether interventions are working and which students are on track or need a check-in.
*Note: this requires the Stats Bolt-on which is a paid feature. Add it to your subscription here.
Headline Figures:
The Headline Figures provide a quick overview of the following stats for the class:
Average best score (within time period chosen).

Percentage of students scoring 25 out of 25 in their latest game (within time period chosen).

Soundcheck Performance Graph:
This graph allows you to see how students are performing. You can choose to view students:
Highest score (within time period chosen).
Average score (within time period chosen).
Most recent score (within time period chosen).
In the bottom right you can change the threshold. For example, if you change the upper threshold to 16 the green line will lower and you will be able to clearly see which students have reached or exceeded this score.

Student Overview:
The table allows you to see overview stats for each student, and more details, game-by-game breakdowns of scores:
Here's some examples of how you can use the data:
See MTC readiness:
Each student will be labelled based on their score trend within your chosen time period. The trend looks at multiple games, and analyses whether, on average, they are trending upwards, downwards or staying the same. Here is how the trend labelling works:
Focusing attention on orange or red students can help you identify where extra support may be needed in your class.
Quickly see what might be an underlying issue:
Use the average speed column to identify students with low score paired with fast speed. Encourage them slow down their pace for greater accuracy and to check answers before hitting "Enter."
