Standardised Tests:
Standardised tests measure your child’s achievement in literacy and numeracy compared to other children throughout the country at the same class level or age level. Cliffoney N.S. uses standardised tests every year from 1st class – 6th class. In our school we inform parents of the test results using STen scores. Below you can find a useful information leaflet produced by the NCCA. Further information for parents on standardised testing, as well as translations of the leaflet in different languages can be found by clicking this link.
