What is a diagnostic assessment?
Diagnostic tests are tools designed to measure your starting point. In the case of functional skills, this will look at your current proficiency in either maths or English. Unlike traditional assessments, which primarily test recall, the purpose of a diagnostic test is to identify your strengths and areas for improvement. This helps tutors and learners alike to tailor learning plans to specific needs.
The Diagnostic Tests
Each free diagnostic assessment, both the initial assessment and the subject knowledge assessment from Pass Functional Skills are available for maths and English. Find out more about each of them below.
Initial Assessment
The initial assessment provides an evaluation of where a learner is starting at. It consists of questions from across the government curriculum at varying levels of difficulty. All the questions have a weighting which is based on its difficulty. By analysing each answer, learners are given an initial level. Further to this, it will give you a recommended level course to enrol on.
Subject Knowledge Assessment
Secondly, the subject knowledge assessment allows learners to see where to focus their revision efforts. The subject knowledge assessment asks questions covering the whole course in order to identify areas of strength and where gaps in knowledge may lay. Once completed, learners get a list of recommended topics, these are parts of the course the learners should focus their revision on.
