USING THIS TEST:
•
This Progress Test will provide only an estimated Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS)
Progression Point. It is intended to complement and confirm other classroom assessments and
teacher judgments, and should not be used in isolation.
•
This test is designed to measure outcomes over a limited ability range only.
•
Results are limited to the expected VELS range for a given year level.
•
It is not possible to give a reliable ability estimate for students with zero or perfect scores. It is
recommended that you administer a test at a lower or higher level in these cases.
•
Ability estimates for students who achieve close to zero or perfect scores will not be as accurate
as those for students with results clearly within the range of the test. You may wish to administer
a test at a lower or higher level to confirm results for these students.
•
Each Progression Point covers a wide range of learning outcomes. A student’s estimated ability
is influenced by a result being at or near the bottom or at or near the top of the Progression
Point. For example, an estimated Progression Point will be the same for a student with 3 correct
answers and a student with 10 correct answers. However, these two students have demonstrated
different ability levels.
•
Further information about interpreting results can be found on the VCAA website at:

Specific information about the learning outcomes for the Victorian Essential Learning Standards
