Dear all,

As you know, the ISA tests will take place on Tuesday 26th  and Wednesday 27th September. The following information will be sent  home to the Y4-6 parents on Wednesday via the Parent Blog. Please ensure that you read the first letter, as this explains the reasons why the students will be taking these tests.

On the morning of the tests, you will be given a hard copy of the administrators handbook, which will give precise instructions on the administration of the tests. Please click link below the soft copy. Please can you take your time to read through this before Tuesday. It contains important information, such as:

  • The test schedule for both mornings
  • Preparation materials needed
  • What accommodations are permissible (non0-standard test conditions)
  • Scripts for the test administration

For sample questions – see below.  Please feel free to check these out (the first 2 pages of each sample booklet gives some useful information). Please note that these questions are for a range of year levels. You may choose to give some of these questions to your students as practice (this is not to serve as revision purposes, but just so they are aware of the types of questions likely to receive), but ensure that you only select questions relevant to your students’ age.
