Snooker skill exams: measure your game, don't guess at it

6-red, 10-red and 15-red routines, scored the same way every time, so improvement over months is visible rather than remembered.

Choosing and preparing

Each exam lists its difficulty and description so you can pick one at the right level, and the setup instructions and success criteria are there before you start — the reason you score yourself consistently every time. Your recent attempts are on the same screen, so you know exactly what you are trying to beat.

Logging an attempt

  • Keep the instructions visible during the attempt, so the rules are never a memory test.
  • Log each break score as you play, capturing your scoring shot by shot.
  • Log each safety attempt as a success or a failure, so defensive play is measured too — not just potting.
  • Add technique notes mid-attempt, while observations about your own cueing are fresh.
  • See a running list of everything logged so far, to check nothing was missed.
  • A warning before exiting early, so a half-finished attempt is never lost silently.

Results that carry forward

Finishing gives a results summary with your highest break and your safety success rate, and the attempt is saved to your history. Filter that history to a period and the statistics — sessions, hours, total reps, highest break and safety success rate — recalculate for exactly the slice you are looking at. A mis-tapped score is not permanent either: saved exam records, including break scores, safety outcomes and notes, can be edited or deleted.
