“The increasing difficulty of<br />
the questions is useful as it<br />
immediately informs you of<br />
the children in need of<br />
support and of those working<br />
at a higher level. An<br />
impressive set of materials –<br />
great for enquiring minds.”<br />
Primary Science Co-ordinator,<br />

Measuring Success in Science is a series of photocopiable science<br />
tests that can be used regularly throughout the school year. The test<br />
topics are thematic and designed to measure a pupil’s understanding<br />
and ability across the subject of science.<br />
Each test includes questions aimed at the experimental and<br />
investigative work in Scientific Enquiry, and all questions vary in style<br />
and increase in difficulty across each test. Designed for use at the end<br />
of units of work, Measuring Success in Science enables teachers and<br />
private tutors to monitor progress at the end of Key Stages 1 and 2.<br />
Free end-of-year tests are also included as part of Measuring Success<br />
in Science. These comprise paper tests for Years 1 and 2, and digital<br />
tests for Years 3 to 6 (with two tests for each year, at different levels).<br />
The easy to administer digital tests offer instant scoring, data analysis<br />
and reporting. The reports produced profile both pupil and group<br />
performance.<br />
