Scottish National Standardised Assessments
Online adaptive assessments providing diagnostic reports
ACER developed and delivered the Scottish National Standardised Assessments along with our partners, Twig and SCHOLAR. SNSA provided Scottish teachers with diagnostic information on aspects of Reading, Writing and Numeracy at P1, P4, P7 and S3 stages with instant results. The information provided by the assessments helped teachers to assess children’s progress and to plan next steps in learning.
