Details

This comparability study was conducted for the optional reception baseline assessments administered in the 2015 to 2016 academic year.

The study was designed to determine whether the 3 different assessment products were sufficiently comparable to be used as the starting point for measuring progress.

The report is aimed at a technical audience but will also be of interest to those involved in assessment in the early years.
