CHOOSING THE CORRECT TEST (For test given Late Oct./Early Nov.)
Example of choosing the right test for students of a given ability:
Based on your own teacher judgement you have determined that your Year 3 student is working about a year or more below Grade level.
The best test to administer to that student would be Booklet 3 (although Booklet 4 may also be appropriate).

CHOOSING THE CORRECT TEST (For test given Late Oct./Early Nov.)
Example of choosing the right test for students of a given ability:
Based on your own teacher judgement you have determined that your Year 3 student is working about a year or more above Grade level.
The best test to administer to that student would be Test 4 (although Test 5 may also be appropriate).

CHOOSING THE CORRECT TEST (For test given Late Oct./Early Nov.)
Example of choosing the right test for students of a given ability:
Based on your own teacher judgement you have determined that your Year 5 student is working about a year or more below Year level.
The best test to administer to that student would be "The Cats" (although "Donna Ding" or "The Swamp Creature" may also be appropriate).
