REMOTE ASSESSMENT WITH REPORT
The report from this 2–hour assessment gives marks to compare with what most people score, as well as suggestions on how to improve any of the academic abilities. The assessments are extracts of the Culture Fair Abilities and Motivation test on the HSRC list. This is a curriculum independent assessment.
Many abilities are involved in learning and doing exams. These include “thinking abilities” like reasoning, grouping information, and copying information correctly, and the ability to handle information in number, words, and symbol form.
Different test levels cover Grade R to Grade 12. Teacher or parent involvement is needed for lower Grades to ensure that instructions are understood.

Grades R to 2: The test identifies some aspects of school readiness and identifies abilities developed in pre-school. The Grade R to 2 report is slightly different from that for other Grades.
Grades 3-4: This indicates how well Foundation Phase work has developed abilities.
Grades 5-6: IQ testing was traditionally done at this time to give teachers the rest of Primary School to develop academic abilities, ready for High School.
Grades 7-8: Testing at the end of Primary School or the beginning of High School indicates which abilities still need to be developed to handle the different kinds of thinking needed in High School work.
Grade 9: The most popular use for the test is for subject choices. The Academic Abilities assessment is included in the Subject Choice assessment.
Grade 10: Testing at this stage indicates whether the testee would be better served to leave the academic stream to start work or do specific job training.
Grades 11-12: Testing indicates which academic abilities need to be strengthened to improve matric results and tertiary education results. The Academic Abilities assessment is included in the Career Choice assessment.
