How the Term 4 Progress Tests Will Work

In-Class Tests

English, Mathematics, Thinking Skills and General Ability tests will use a paper-based, multiple-choice format.

Students will complete their tests after the first lesson. Therefore, Week 7 lessons will be shorter than usual, and there will be no writing module.

Writing Test for Years 2–6

Students in Years 2–6 will complete one Writing task online at home through Cyberschool during Week 7.

Year K and Year 1 students will not complete a Writing Progress Test.

WEMT Zoom Classes

WEMT Zoom lessons will continue as normal during Week 7. Zoom students will complete their Progress Tests online through Cyberschool outside their regular lesson time.

Teachers may use the available writing lesson time for other learning activities or additional review.

Make-Up Tests

Students who cannot sit their Progress Tests during Week 7 may book a make-up test.

Make-up tests will be available until Wednesday, 2 December 2026. However, the make-up arrangement does not include the Writing Test.
