The structure and content of the group test allow for pupils to be tested annually, often used summatively at the end of the year. PiE comprises two forms. The Short Form contains two themed reading comprehension passages (fiction and non-fiction) and spelling and grammar exercises. The optional Long Form includes open response comprehension questions and writing tasks. The latter is provided with detailed marking keys that have been rigorously moderated to guide teachers in the marking of their pupils’ extended written work. A new pupil booklet has recently been published, containing both the Short Form and the Long Form exercises, to make administration of all parts of PiE more straightforward for those wanting to test at greater length. Each pack of the new booklets includes brief guidance notes; full administration, marking and interpretation is as published in the Teacher’s Guide to each level of PiE. reporting. These reports illustrate: Pupils’ results by Standard Age Score, estimated reading and writing National Curriculum Levels, comparison of group and national scores (by gender and whole group), analysis of results by process category (against national scores) and question by question analysis.
