Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT)
During Weeks 2 and 3 next term, all students in Years 7 to 10 will be involved in completing the online Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT).
Students will be completing the following two tests:
- PAT-R (Reading)
- PAT-M (Mathematics)
The PAT assessments provide objective, norm-referenced information to teachers about their students’ skills and understandings in a range of key areas. Each PAT has its own proficiency scale with descriptors outlining the content and skills students are consolidating at any given point on that scale. Each PAT assessment provides data on student performance, making PAT ideal for understanding students’ current strengths and weaknesses, informing teaching and learning, and monitoring progress over time. The tests are online, multiple-choice and each test will take approximately 40 minutes.
A copy of the test schedule is attached below and will be available in Sentral daily notices. We encourage all students to do their best during these tests as the data will be used by their class teachers throughout the year.
