Assessment Data

Assessment data for CY 2013/14

With more than 100,000 completed assessments in Functional maths, English and ICT since Sept 2013, Guroo have published figures showing the average attainment. Data such as this is used by Guroo to ensure that the appropriate level of rigour is built into the assessments to reflect the experience of College and Training providers.

They show that the additional rigour introduced by Guroo into the ICT assessment (left graph) have worked with the average assessment score reducing from 7.8 to 7.6 with more learners achieving "working towards L2" than "working at L2".  

The profile of English and Maths have not changed a great deal since last year but the average score has increased a little in English assessment (centre graph), from 7.6 to 7.8 representing average achievement at just under Level 1.  

Reflecting the issues described in the article above, the Functional maths (right graph) achievement remains a real concern with an average score stubbornly persistent at 6.8 (Entry 3 working towards Level 1) - half a level below English with 64% of assessments coming out at below Level 1! 

A full report, that also details the average time that a typical learner takes to complete the Guroo assessment and diagnostic process will be available in the next few days - please email jwells@guroo.co.uk of you'd like a copy when available.

How do the scores work?

• A score of 6 would indicate the central point of an Entry Level 3 result.
• A score of 7 is the central point of the working towards L1 result.
• A score of 8 represents the central point of a Level 1 result.
• A score of 10 represents a Level 2 result.
