QUESTION: Instead of testing every student in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, why aren’t tests conducted on sample student populations in these years?
ANSWER:Literacy and numeracy are critical elements of learning and it is important to understand how a student is progressing in establishing these foundations. The tests provide valuable diagnostic information about each student, and support the ability to focus teaching on areas of need. The tests also help parents see how their child is progressing against national standards.
