The table gives performance thresholds for each test, which you can use to see how
well each pupil is doing in each test. If pupils are reaching the expected standard for
their year, they will be consistently scoring in the middle zone of marks in the tests.
The higher the mark in the zone, the more secure you can be that they are meeting
the expected standard for their year group. Because the tests become progressively
harder throughout the year, you will not necessarily see an increase in an individual
pupil’s marks each time they take a test.
With younger age groups, you may also consider using the PDF version of the tests
available via your My Rising Stars account (www.risingstars-uk.com/user). You can
project the PDF onto a whiteboard to support a whole class or group to take the
tests. You may choose to refer to the words on the whiteboard and read them aloud
so that pupils can follow them on the screen and on their own test paper, and then
write their answers on their papers individually.
