CTAD - ICT-based initial assessment: version 2

ICT-based initial assessment: version 2

The latest version of this well-respected, easy-to-use initial assessment tool contains an improved literacy assessment and separate practice tests for literacy and numeracy. The initial assessment software assesses learners against the curricula for Entry 1, 2, 3 and Levels 1 and 2 in a non-threatening and age-appropriate way. It then automatically generates reports to form the basis of a personalised learning programme.

New assessment items for literacy have been developed in consultation with a leading literacy expert.
Literacy content is now more closely aligned with skills described in the curricula at all levels, making the assessment far more transparent for teachers.
Two practice tests, one for literacy and one for numeracy, help users understand how to answer questions.
Additional guidance for tutors, which helps them prepare for administering the assessment.

An online version of Initial Assessment is also available.
