These tests cover NC Levels 3, 4, 5 and 5 with extension. They are taken online, and marks are reported to you in real time. You can analyse the marks by student, by question or by question category. Students receive instant marks and feedback.

Topics are:

• Adding and subtracting
• Doubling and halving
• Finding percentages
• Fractions, decimals and percentages
• Multiples, factors and primes
• Multiplication and Division
• Multiply and divide by 10 and 100

Students take any given set of tests in sequence, starting at L3. The Markbook shows you the level that a student has attained; as the student completes the series, the accuracy of the Markbook level indicator increases.

Each test presents 20 questions selected at random from a set of up to 57 (in themselves drawn from a bank of 3,000). The sequence of questions is also randomised. As a result a student can attempt a test several times over, and get a fresh experience each time.

The tests run on our new avatar-based Cloze template. According to one recent teacher comment this is so compelling for learners that "my students did not even realise they were taking a test!"

As with most Yacapaca assessments, formative feedback is provided for students who enter an incorrect answer - usually as a suggested method.
