Are there any plans to develop an on-screen test for ICT at KS3?
Plans are in place to trial a KS3 ICT test 2. When will the test be available? There will be a limited pilot in 2004 with materials available for practice and familiarisation for the pilot schools from 2003. Further pilots will take place in 2005 and 2006. These will also have supporting practice materials available from Autumn 2004. If schools are interested in being involved in any of the pilots they should email their details to the QCA ICT test development team Back to the Assessment 3. Will the test be statutory? The test is still in early stages of development. No decision has been made as to whether or not the test might become statutory in the future. 4. How will schools use the test? The test is intended to be used as a summative assessment of attainment at the end of Key Stage 3. Schools will also be provided with practice materials designed to help pupils prepare for the tests as well as providing analyses of pupil performance that can be used on a formative basis.
