Free Dyscalculia Test for Adults
A free, private checklist about how you handle numbers, money, time and directions in everyday life. It takes about two minutes and can help you decide whether to look further. It cannot diagnose dyscalculia.
For each statement, choose how often it is true for you.

About this test
An original reflective checklist written by Nurtured Coach. It has not been clinically validated and does not replace a specialist assessment.
How the score works
Each answer scores from 0 (never) to 4 (very often) and the total sets your band. The bands are a plain guide to how often you recognised these experiences. They are not a validated cut-off and cannot show whether you have a condition.

Frequently asked questions
Can this diagnose dyscalculia?
No. Only a qualified professional can assess or diagnose dyscalculia. This checklist can help you put your experiences into words before you speak to someone.
What is dyscalculia?
Dyscalculia is a specific and persistent difficulty with understanding numbers and maths. It is different from simply disliking maths or having missed lessons, although maths anxiety can look similar.
Can adults be assessed for dyscalculia?
Yes. Assessments are usually arranged privately through a specialist teacher or psychologist. Ask whether they have experience with adults, and check the cost before booking.
Is it private?
