Can be used INDIVIDUALLY or better still COMBINED
What pupils know VS what they can do
High Ability or Hard Work?
Low Ability or Underachievement?
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment
Adaptive Assessment:
• Questions adapt to pupil
• Efficient
• No time Wasting
• Wider Ability Range
• More Enjoyable
• Green
The Systems - Computer Adaptive Assessment
Running the Computer Adaptive
Assessments:
1. Send us a CSV file of your pupils’ details
2. Set up software - internet or intranet (LAN)
3. Run the assessments
4. Send us assessment results files (if doing LAN based
version)

Feedback Overview
Prompt Feedback:
• Assessment Feedback
- Standardised Scores and Quartile Bands
• Predictions & Chances Graphs for <Standard Grade / Int 2>
• Value Added to:
- S2 Curriculum-based Assessments
- <Standard Grade / Int 2>
•Attitudes to Science (End S2 Assessments)
Feedback
• Feedback can be used at the pupil, class and cohort level.
-to guide individuals
-to monitor pupil progress
-to monitor subject-wide and department level
progress
• For classroom teachers, Head teachers or SMT as a
quality assurance tool
• Data can be aggregated at other levels. We support &
provide software tools to help schools to do this e.g. Paris
software
Feedback: Scores
Feedback: Band Profile Graphs
Feedback: MidYIS S1 Baseline: IPRs
• Strong in
Vocabulary,
Maths and Skills
•Poor
performance in
Non Verbal
•Significantly
less able in Non
Verbal
Feedback: S2 Curriculum-based IPRs
• Average
Reading
•Generally better
than average
Maths
•Above average
Science
•But what is this
pupil’s underlying
ability like? What
is their starting
point?
Feedback: MidYIS S1 IPRs
• But what is this
pupil’s underlying
ability like? What is
their starting point?
• An overachiever in
Maths and Science?
• Perhaps Reading
more in line with
underlying ability?
Feedback: Standards Referencing Reading
Feedback: Standards Referencing Maths
Feedback: Standards Referencing Science
Predictions Feedback
•How do these predictions compare to the predictions from the
baseline assessment?
Predictions: Chances Graphs
Value Added: Scatter Charts
Identify:
• over performance
• under performance
• keeping up
Value Added: Subject Performance
• From MidYIS/SOSCA to Standard Grade and others e.g. Intermediate 2
• From Pips/MidYIS to SOSCA
(as applicable)
Value Added: SPC Chart
