Viewing results

Once you have selected the pupils you wish to work with from the main screen press the ‘View results’ button on the left hand menu.

This will open a new page with four drop down menus for subject, year, term and score.

Next select the assessment year you wish to have results for, you are able to select an ‘all’ option, or a ‘Key stage 1’ option.

Next select which term you wish to receive results from, again, you are able to select an ‘all’ option. Finally you will need to choose the format of score you wish your results to be in.

The ‘Raw score’ option will provide the actual scores achieved on the test. This is used to inform the standardised score and age-standardised score.

The ‘Standardised score’ option will provide a score that enables a comparison to be made between performance of a pupil and that of other pupils who have taken the same assessment. This can be useful for grouping your class by ability and for identifying pupils in need of targeted intervention. For more information about standardised scores, please see your NFER Tests Teacher Guide.

The ‘Age-Standardised score’ option will provide a score that takes into account a pupil’s age in years and months at the time of sitting the assessment in order for the pupil’s score to be compared with the performance of other pupils of the same age. The score will only be accurate if it has been given to pupils within the expected age range for the test. For more information about age-standardised scores, please see your NFER Tests Teacher Guide.

Selecting ‘All’ will produce a table with raw, standardised and age-standardised scores for each pupil.

In addition to NFER test scores, if you have entered scaled scores and teacher assessment scores for year 2 SATs (this can be done via ‘Manage pupils’, see section 2.3 for details) these will be displayed alongside the relevant NFER test scores. If you select all subjects, all SATs scores will be shown. If you select ‘Reading’, only reading SATs scores will be shown, if you select ‘Maths’, only maths SATS scores will be shown and if you select ‘Grammar and Punctuation’, just Writing SATs scores will be shown.

Once you have made all your selections, press the ‘Show’ button to the right of the drop down menus and the results will populate in a table below. An example of this can be seen below:

You are able to change how many entries are shown on one screen by clicking on the drop down menu on the top left and selecting how many. If your entries are listed across more than one page, the page can be changed by pressing the ‘Next’ button on the bottom right of the screen, or by selecting the page number you would like to view.

To search in your list of pupils, you can use the search bar on the top right-hand side of the screen. Begin typing in the box and the list of pupils below will filter to match your search.

A total number of entries can be seen in the bottom left of the screen. This will also tell you how many of the total pupils are currently on show out of the total number if you have filtered through a search.

Each column can be sorted into alphabetical order by pressing the arrow symbol next to the column heading.

If you would like to view results for a specific group of pupils you can use the groups and filters buttons.
