Year 7 Assess Diagnostic Quizzes

"Really delighted with the content" Marianne Good, Gosforth Central Middle School

Formative assessment can improve teaching and learning - but needs fast and accurate information about student understanding. Tests tell you only what students remember - you need to know if there were specific concepts students struggled with. And whether they can 'apply' knowledge to unfamiliar situations - the yardstick of understanding at GCSE.

The Diagnostic Quizzes use original, carefully designed multiple questions. In 10-15 minutes, you can conduct the quiz, and have students review why they got answers wrong. Pack 1 covers the 25 key concepts in a typical year 7 course (11-12 year olds).

Mastery & Reassess Diagnostic Quizzes The quizzes reveal whether students have grasped the concept (so you can move on) or whether the struggled with a part of it (so need a re-think). The multiple choice quizzes are also designed to flag up specific misconceptions. There are two quizzes per concept - so you test once, give students extra learning opportunities, and then re-assess to see if they got it - mastery learning in action. Each quiz is short, targeting one concept with 6 questions: 4 Know and 2 Apply. The questions are deliberately designed to reveal misconceptions and partial understanding so you can see which students need more learning.

Student self-assessment The quizzes come with clear feedback - full explanations of why the correct answers are right and why the others are wrong.

We developed Mastery Science based on the research in mastery learning which indicates the need for accurate diagnostic information. See these links for more information:

We accept payment by credit card and PayPal. If you're a school, you can also choose to pay by bank transfer or cheque when you checkout. You will then receive an email with a link to an invoice to pay.

Once payment is received, we will send you details for how to download the digital resources and a teachers guide. We also offer online support in implementing the mastery learning system. Unfortunately, we do not accept payment after delivery. This allows us to minimise administration and pass the savings on to our customers. You will be given details for each payment method during checkout.

The Government’s Educational Endowment Fund (EEF) concluded that Mastery is one of the few strategies where there is evidence that it can close the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and others. Mastery on average can produce an extra 5 months of learning gains every year. Mastery revolves around giving students accurate learning feedback - the top strategy on the list.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund for this digital product.

Feedback and intervention

I and the department are very impressed with the design and the specific feedback and intervention activities for students.

Dramatic increase in learning

Really delighted with the content! My headteacher observed me doing my first rethink session. She was absolutely delighted with the learning she saw taking place and is supportive of us investing in it. Much of the success of the mastery for all assessment has been in the bespoke response to the misconceptions so clearly pinpointed by the diagnostic test. The tasks quickly and effectively address these misconceptions and the extend tasks are a fabulous way to take most able pupils to a greater depth in the learning. The dramatic increase in the marks between the diagnostic and the retest are testament to the success of the reteaching interventions.
