Feedback
August
END:
September
The baseline score is measured as early as possible and the information sent to CEM
The institution then receives feedback from CEM: baseline test results and predictions
The public examination results are sent to CEM when received by the institution
The value added data is available from September via the Institution’s website at CEM
Typical Timeline
Early Testing & Predictions
Testing is available from June at end of previous academic year
e.g. Y6 / Y9 / Y11
Basic Principles:
• Measure Student’s ability Intake Profiles IPR - Strengths and Weaknesses
• Project future performance from national trends Predictions
• Record Final Grade
• Compare actual performance to Projected Performance Value-Added Reports

Computer Adaptive Baseline Test
Vocab Maths Non Verbal
What is an Adaptive test ?
• All questions allocated to groups of different difficulty• All students in a year group get common difficulty starting question• If answer correct, next question harder• If answer wrong, next question easier• Test looks at all answers in a section and homes in on questions of a
suitable difficulty for student

Standardisation
• Test scores are standardised; Mean = 100, SD = 15
Standardised Score

Comment
>130 Top 2.5% Traditional classification of ‘mentally gifted’
>120 Top 10%
>100 Top 50%
<80 Bottom 10%
<70 Bottom 2.5% Potential special educational needs ??
The Computer Adaptive Baseline Test:
• Adaptive components common to MidYIS, Yellis, and Alis are:– Vocabulary– Maths
• Non- adaptive sections:– Non-verbal (MidYIS, Yellis, Alis)– Skills (MidYIS only)
• Assessments are ‘curriculum free’: i.e. students are not taught prior to the test
• Measure of acquired ability• There is no preparation for the test
Difficult vocabulary

or Baseline Test ?
Key Stage Baselines – KS2; GCSEStrengths WeaknessesRelated to curriculum Dependent on teaching effectiveness (prior Value-
Added) as well as student ability
Automatically available Open to manipulation

Linked to student learning experience
