2018 Years 7 – 9 ACER Testing
Thursday 8 November & Friday 9 November
Each year our students in Years 7 – 9 undertake ACER’s Progressive Achievement Tests: PAT-R5 (Reading), PAT-M (Mathematics) and the AGAT – ACER General Ability Tests.
These tests are used in thousands of schools in Australia and around the world. These tests focus on assessing and monitoring student growth over time and is underpinned by an understanding that students of the same age and in the same year of school can be at very different points in their learning and development.
We will be using the data that is generated from these tests to monitor the progression of your son and to ultimately inform our teaching.
These tests are online and therefore we require that all Laptops be fully charged the night before.
