Group Assessment

Born to Soar, offer both group and personal assessment for students. The aim of these assessments is to provide an indication of a student’s strengths, talents and an overview of their cognitive abilities. By having students undertake assessments, parents and educators are able to make more informed decisions when planning curriculum and student placement.

What is the difference between group and individual testing?

• Group assessment: provides an overview of a student’s learning domains.  The parent report is general in nature while still providing an indication of the student’s strengths, talents and cognitive abilities.
• Individual assessment: is a one-to-one process and is tailored to each student’s differing abilities across their learning profile. This format allows the tester to monitor the student and decide when it is appropriate to conclude the assessment. The report to parents which accompanies the assessment is more in comprehensive. In all the individual assessment provides more detailed information about the student. For example a Year 3 student may achieve a result indicating Year 7 ability in literacy and Year 6 ability in mathematical thinking.
