Hi, I'm Brooke Cressy and I hold the record for the highest score achieved on Times Tables Rock Stars in one minute with 210. Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) is a really fun game were you solve maths questions in the fastest time possible. 

I'm Brooke Cressey and Iโ€™m from Kent, which is in the UK. I live with my dad (Mark), mum (Shelley) and sister (Paige). I was eight when I broke the TTRS record under the username "Heath Fox" ๐ŸฆŠ

I have always enjoyed times tables, and fell in love with the TTRS app! I started about the end September 2020 and I loved it โค๏ธ

I even have a video of my first few goes at home. I practice on TTRS for around 30 minutes every morning. I can answer three multiplication questions per second!

How I became the best at Times Tables Rock Stars

On my very first go, I scored 28. It took me about six months to build up to my current record-breaking speed ๐Ÿงฎ๐Ÿ’จ By May 2021 I was scoring over 200 regularly.

By November, I was competing against nearly 400,000 other kids in the TTRS England Rocks contest. In the content you had to answer multiplication and division questions against the clock! I became convinced I could claim the top spot, but only after I started getting my high scores regularly.

I won with 41,627 correctly answered questions in under four hours โ€“ a rate of 173 per minute! ๐Ÿคฏ That was 2,880 more questions than second place. 

You have to be super speedy to enter in your answer as quickly as possible โ€“ sometimes I even accidently stop blinking while on TTRS, as it breaks my rhythm! ๐Ÿ‘€

My family canโ€™t believe how good I am at quick calculations. Theyโ€™re very proud - they call me the human calculator and a robot!!

Itโ€™s not all about mathsโ€ฆ 

Although maths is my favourite subject, I also really enjoy literacy and like reading a lot too ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“š .. but not as much as maths!!

Outside of school, I like riding my bike and scooter. I also like being underwater when I can, 'cause I love swimming! ๐Ÿ’ง๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ

My plans for the future

I want to beat my own world record! In fact, the day after I did the world record, I got my best score of 211 in "Garage" mode, although that was unofficial. So Iโ€™m sure I can achieve a higher score. 

I would always like to be doing maths of some kind, so I definitely see maths as part of my further education or job one day. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿซ
