Cambridge Science for the
Victorian Curriculum 7–10
Second Edition
Bringing fresh local content to Victorian science students
Introducing new adaptive tests to help you identify individual student needs.
What are the adaptive tests?
A bank of easy-to-assign, ready-made tests with adaptive functionality and auto-marking...
...combined with intuitive reporting to capture student achievement at different times and in relation to syllabus outcomes.
How do the adaptive tests work?
Your adaptive test bank includes a ready-made pre-test and post-test for each chapter.
Each test is made up of a set of 27 multiple-choice questions...
...nine Level 1 (knowing) questions,
nine Level 2 (applying) questions,
and nine Level 3 (reasoning) questions.
Students start at a Level 2 (medium) question for each topic.
If they answer correctly, they move to the Level 3 (harder) question.
If they answer incorrectly, they move to the Level 1 (easier) question.
Your students will complete a seamless sequence of 18 multiple-choice questions, unaware that the questions are adapting to meet their needs.
27 questions underpin an 18-question adaptive tests.
This adaptive functionality means that higher ability students will be challenged without demotivating lower ability students.
Choose to assign a test to your whole cohort or choose a selection of individual students.
Results are presented in a way that allows you to adapt your teaching to bring all students up to the achievement standards.
Teachers have access to three reports using the data gathered in the adaptive tests showing:
> Correct/incorrect/skipped questions
> Pre- and post-test comparisons for each student
