Guiding your students to achieve their best
Introducing a new diagnostic tool to help you identify individual student needs...
What is the diagnostic tool?
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 does the diagnostic tool work?
Your diagnostic 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 diagnostic test.
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 two types of reports using the data gathered in the diagnostic tests showing:
> Correct/incorrect/skipped questions
> Comparisons of performance for all students
> Pre- and post-test comparisons for each student
> How students did on a topic on average
