Baseline ICT Assessment for KS3
<h4>Update: these tests are now completely free!</h4> <p>At last an accurate, computerised KS3 level assessment that’s easy to set up and simple to administrate.</p> <p>This assessment suite was developed at Blatchington Mill school in Brighton and calibrated against a full ...
<P>We use the Chalkface baseline assessment tool too... with it being online, the lack of installation appealed to me and setting up pupil names is a breeze and instant feedback of a baseline level is a good starting point - much better than taking the average of Maths, English and Science KS2 results!!!</P>
<P>Tests are 10p each, lasting about 10 minutes. Chalkface recommend you order enough test allocations to run six tests per pupil to get a good breadth of data to make the level more accurate. True enough, but three tests is virtually as accurate, halves the time and cost too.</P>

<P>...takes minutes to calibrate and I highly recommend it.</P>
<P>I love the fact you can tier the tests. We entered some pupils for the 4-6 entry, and others for the 3-5 entry.</P>
<P>We teach 50 minute lessons at our place and we can get through three tests in one lesson - the result being - we have their baseline level at the end of it!</P>
