Students who have successfully completed their Mental Arithmetic Grading System (Grade 13 to Grade 1) will be eligible to proceed to Dan proficiency, which consists of 10 levels (Dan 1 to Dan 10), with Dan 10 being the highest.

To determine their level of competency, students are required to sit for the Dan Grading Examination, held quarterly in conjunction with CMA’s International Grading Examination. A sample of the examination is shown here; students are required to complete it within a time limit of 3 minutes. Students who achieve a perfect score of 200 marks will be awarded Dan 10. Upon attaining Dan 10, the students are recognized as mental arithmetic experts and qualified for graduation. Our Dan level students are as listed (listings are in order of year of attainment of Dan level and in alphabetical order; not in order of scores):
