Progress Test 2027 Standardisation Study

Be among the first schools and trusts to access the next generation of our Progress Tests (PT).

We’re inviting schools and trusts to take part in our Progress Test Trial and experience upcoming developments before wider release. By participating in the trial you’ll have the opportunity to explore new features, provide feedback and help influence the future direction of PT and will be compensated for your time effort.

What's changing?

The new PT Series, launching from 2027, introduces refreshed content, a randomised test format and enhanced skills-based reporting. These improvements are being implemented across PTE, PTM and PTS, levels 9 -14 and will provide the following improvements:
  • Greater responsivity to curriculum changes
  • Strengthened assessment security
  • Deeper insights into pupil performance
  • Ongoing feature enhancements

Why take part?

The trial window opens from April – July 2027.  By participating in this trial, you’ll be able to:

  • Experience new features and reporting developments
  • Share feedback and help influence future enhancements
  • Stay informed about upcoming PT developments and improvements
  • Receive compensation for your school’s time and effort

What reporting will I receive?

Following the completion of our Progress Tests, educators will receive interim reporting on how their students preformed. These reports will be available the same day of testing via Testwise and will include:

  • T-scores showing how each child performed in comparison to last year’s trial sample. This is less reliable than the fully standardised results and should be used with caution.
  • Total raw score – the number of marks the child received.
  • Raw score by reporting category – the number of marks the child received in each category.
  • Performance band by reporting category – This shows areas of relative strength and weakness in comparison to the overall score.

Following our standardisation analysis, additional reporting will be provided, also accessed via our testwise platform.
