The integrity framework is about building honest self-assessment, not surveillance. The percentile is only useful if it's real.
At TrueVIQ, we believe that real progress comes from honest data. Arena doesn't lock your child down — it builds a partnership between parent, child, and platform. Transparency over control. Self-awareness over policing.
You confirm exam conditions. The exam cannot start without your attestation.
Silent signals logged — tab switches, time anomalies — but never interrupting the exam.
Your child is asked: “Did you do this on your own?” Building character, not fear.
“An honest 65th percentile is infinitely more useful than a cheated 85th.”
Built to deliver what parents actually pay mock centres for
Every child who sits the same paper forms a real cohort. Your percentile rank builds as more candidates complete — just like a mock centre, but national scale.
4 sections, individually timed, auto-advancing. Can't go back. Can't pause. Matches the exact structure your child will face on exam day.
Parent attestation before start. Tab-switch detection. Time anomaly flagging. Post-exam self-reflection. Transparent signals — not a lockdown browser.
See your child's rank among all candidates. Scores and positions visible — names are not. Motivating without pressure.
See exactly how your child's percentile compares to the entry requirements of your target grammar schools.
Watch the percentile trend across multiple Arena exams. The trajectory chart parents obsess over — built in from day one.

We can't put an invigilator in your living room. We can do something better — build trust between you and your child.
You get a transparent integrity report after every exam. No accusation — just data. The most reliable indicator is still you being nearby. And that's much easier when the exam is in your kitchen.
This is core to everything TrueVIQ does: trust the data because the data is honest. When your child's percentile is real, every practice decision you make — what to focus on, which schools to target, when they're ready — is grounded in truth.
You confirm quiet space, no books, no devices. The exam cannot start without this.
Tab switches, fullscreen exits, and time anomalies are logged — but never interrupt the exam.
Your child is asked: “Did you do this on your own?” Building self-awareness, not surveillance.
A clear summary of all signals. Green, amber, or red. You decide what to make of it.
Every Arena exam will include the full experience — percentile, leaderboard, integrity report, school targets, and trajectory. No features locked behind tiers.
Pricing Coming Soon
We're finalising Arena Live pricing. Start practising with TrueVIQ today and be ready when Arena opens its first exam window.
It can be. Arena Live delivers the same assessment quality and percentile data. What it doesn't replicate is the physical hall experience — 200 children in a school gym. Many parents use Arena Live to supplement 1-2 in-person mocks, doing the rest at home.
Every child who sits the same paper in a given week forms a single cohort. Scores are age-standardised (SAS), then ranked. Percentiles update as more children complete. We require a minimum of 30 candidates before showing percentile data.
Technically, yes — just as they could in any unsupervised setting. Arena Live monitors for signals (tab switching, long pauses) and shares them with you transparently. The integrity framework is about building honest self-assessment, not surveillance. The percentile is only useful if it's real.
The section structure, timing, and question distribution follow the GL format. Arena uses 4 individually timed sections that auto-advance — your child cannot go back to a previous section, just like the real exam. The questions come from our 30,000+ TrueVIQ Foundry question bank.
A fresh paper is released every Monday and stays available until Sunday night. Start any time during the week — no slots, no booking. Everyone who sits the same paper forms one cohort for percentile accuracy.
Arena Live is gentler than a mock centre. Your child is in their own space, with you nearby. The lobby page explains the rules warmly and gives a clear countdown. For very anxious children, doing their first Arena Live exam at home can be a stepping stone to an in-person mock later.
