The Further Education Reasoning Test Digital (FERT Digital) is a<br />
computer based standardised assessment that measures key cognitive<br />
abilities and can be used to identify student potential and learning styles.<br />
The test measures the three principal forms of reasoning – verbal, non<br />
verbal and quantitative, allowing the pupil to be tested on the full range<br />
of abilities in a single session<br />
It is designed to assess the potential of students who are entering, or<br />
are in sixth form, further or higher education colleges. The results give<br />
an indication of how students assimilate new information and highlight<br />
their thinking skills above and beyond their formal literacy and<br />
mathematical abilities.<br />

quick guide<br />
Age Range:<br />
4 years – 8 years<br />
Suitable for:<br />
SENCOs and teachers<br />
Administration:<br />
Group<br />
Timed:<br />
30 -40 minutes<br />
The Reasoning 5-7 Test Series is<br />
an effective way of assessing<br />
both verbal and non-verbal<br />
reasoning in primary school<br />
pupils. It helps to assess their<br />
future potential and acts as a<br />
reliable baseline test to inform<br />
teachers about the cognitive<br />
abilities of their pupils. It is a<br />
standardised assessment series<br />
that tests pupils’ facility with<br />
language and content-free visual<br />
information to measure their wider<br />
reasoning ability.<br />
Reasoning 5-7 doesn’t require any reading by the pupils, with the verbal<br />
section comprising orally-administered questions and pictorial response<br />
options. Non-Verbal Reasoning 6 and 7 also involve no reading and<br />
provide insight into the abilities of those who struggle with reading, who<br />
seem to lack motivation, or who have English as an additional language.<br />
The results give an indication of how pupils assimilate new information, and<br />
highlight their skills in verbal thinking above and beyond their formal literacy<br />
abilities. They also highlight pupils’ abilities to acquire new concepts and<br />
information that may not be evident from their usual class work.<br />
Why use Reasoning 5-7<br />
• Acts as a baseline test for reasoning abilities<br />
• Identifies potential in all pupils, including EAL pupils<br />
• Provides a measure of pupils’ potential to learn across the curriculum<br />
• Feeds perfectly into other GL Assessment’s Verbal and Non-Verbal<br />
Reasoning tests for pupils aged 8–14<br />
• Standardised scores allows you to compare your pupils’ results with<br />
the national average<br />
• It provides a diagnostic profile of relative cognitive strengths and<br />
weaknesses<br />
• It is ideal for assessing the abilities of students with English as an<br />
additional language or dyslexia<br />
• Group feedback on visual-verbal preferences is given<br />
• Digital testing removes the burden of test administration, as all<br />
practice, instructions and timings are computer administered in a<br />
single test session<br />
• Instant scoring and reporting gives you results at the touch of a<br />
button<br />
