iPrax

an Australian organisation delivering high quality assessment tasks to Australian school students.

As Australian schools move away from pen and paper national testing in the coming few years iPrax offers a full suite of state of the art Reading, Grammar and Punctuation and Numeracy tests for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 for use in classrooms today. These tests are computer adaptive which means they are tailored for the individual ability of the student. Our aim is to be ahead of the game and allow schools to commence this style of assessment right now. Practice does make a difference. Teachers are provided with detailed feedback which will help target the learning to the individual student’s needs.

  • When will I get my students’ results?

    Results are available as soon as each student completes the assessment.

  • What does it mean to be computer adaptive?

    Computer adaptive tests mean that students sit a paper tailored to their ability. As students progress they are directed to questions which better meet their demonstrated ability. High performing students receive harder reading texts and questions with higher cognitive demands. Students who are experiencing difficulty are directed to texts and questions better in line with their current abilities so that the assessment data provided is more meaningful.

  • How do I know the results are safe?

    Each school accesses the site from a unique URL. Your students’ assessment data will not be used for any other purpose. Schools may direct their students to enter the test using their name or student number as an added safeguard.

  • How do I sign up?
