What is an Adaptive test ?
• All questions allocated to groups of different difficulty• All students in a year group get common difficulty starting question• If answer correct, next question harder• If answer wrong, next question easier• Test looks at all answers in a section and homes in on questions of a
suitable difficulty for student

Standardisation
• Test scores are standardised; Mean = 100, SD = 15
Standardised Score

>130 Top 2.5% Traditional classification of ‘mentally gifted’
>120 Top 10%
>108 Top 30%
>100 Top 50%
<70 Bottom 2.5% Potential special educational needs ??

Feedback from Baseline Test
• Intake Profiles• Individual Pupil Records (IPRs)• Predictions (GCSE)

Individual Pupil Record Sheets(IPRs)
Look for sections that are inconsistent

General IPR Patterns• Pupils with high scores across all components• Pupils with low scores across all components• Pupils with significant differences between one or two components
• Vocab lower than others• Vocab higher than others• Maths higher than others• Maths lower than others• Non-Verbal higher than others• Non-Verbal lower than others• Low Skills• High Skills
![Page 9: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pupils with high scores across all components
• Score > 130 – top 2.5%• Gifted ?• Challenging Work ?• Are they being Stretched ?
![Page 10: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pupils with low scores across all components
• Score =70 – bottom 2.5%• Special Educational Needs ?• Specialist testing required ?
![Page 11: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Vocab significantly lower than other sections
• English Second Language ?• Understanding language used in learning and assessment ?• Language enrichment ?
![Page 12: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Vocab significantly higher than other sections
• Good Communicator ?• Work in class may not be to this standard
→ Weak Non-verbal→ Weak Maths→ Weak Skills (speed of working ?)
• Many benefit from verbal descriptors ?
![Page 13: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Maths significantly higher than other sections
• Strong Maths ability• Not 100% curriculum free• May depend on prior teaching effectiveness• Far East influence ?
![Page 14: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Maths significantly lower than other sections
• Implications not just for maths but other numerate or data based subjects
• General poor numeracy ?• Remedial Maths ?
![Page 15: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Non-Verbal Significantly Higher than other sections
• Good spatial and non-verbal ability• May have high specific skills• Low Vocab, Maths & Skills may indicate has difficulty
communicating• Frustration ?
![Page 16: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Low Skills Scores
• Skills = Proof Reading and Perceptual Speed & Accuracy• Speed of Working• Work well in class / homework but underachieve in exams ?• Problems checking work or decoding questions ?• Low Skills + Low Vocab
→ Poor written work in class (unable to work quickly) → Dyslexia ? Further specialist assessment required
![Page 18: Making the most of Assessment Data in the Secondary Years Dr Robert Clark](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163a5550346895dd4aac2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
High Skills Scores
• Skills = Proof Reading and Perceptual Speed & Accuracy• Can work quickly & accurately• Difficulty communicating and expressing ideas ?• May perform poorly in areas using numeracy skills and subjects
needing 3D visualisation and spatial concepts ?• May struggle in most areas of curriculum.

Predictions NOT a forecast of the grade the student will get An indication of the grade (points score) achieved on average by students of
similar ability in the previous year NOT a Target
Targets ?• Minimum Targets – Round CEM prediction down ?• Realistic Targets – Use nearest CEM grade ?• Challenging Targets
→ 75th percentile ? → Prior Value Added ? → Arbitrary grade fraction ?
