Featuring the same carefully constructed tests as the paper version, the assessment consists of nine tests, which have been digitised to allow pupils spelling to be assessed electronically. Single Word Spelling Test Digital provides you with an instant group report featuring: Spelling Ages Percentile Ranks Standard Scores Question by question analysis against national scores Analysis by word level against national scores In addition to the group report, pupils individual responses are also available and data can be exported so that results can be further analysed and specific weaknesses addressed.

SWST Report Single Word Spelling Test 11 Section: A, B, C, D, E, F Group: Sample Group SWST Level: 11 The following pages give a summary of the results achieved based on the overall Standard Age Score (SAS). A SAS comes from comparing the pupil's raw score with the national standardisation sample, taking chronological age into account. This shows how each pupil is performing compared to the national average for their age. The national average SAS is 1. Section A - Comparison of group and national SAS mean scores The table shows average SAS and standard deviations for each group of pupils. The chart shows the average SAS scores (red dot) with 8% confidence bands (black horizontal line). Confidence bands are not displayed for groups with less than 5 pupils as these are usually very wide with few pupils. If the black horizontal line overlaps the national '1' line the results for your group do not differ significantly from the national average. The chart also shows the score distribution displayed as a box and whisker plot for each group of pupils. The graphic below shows an example for a group of pupils. Half the pupils have scores within the box range which in this example is between 9 and 11. It also shows that 5% of pupils have SAS scores below 8, 25% have scores below 9, 5% have scores below 15 (vertical black line), 75% below 11 and 95% below 125. SAS Score Distribution Section B- Comparison of group and national SAS distributions The bar chart shows the percentage of pupils that fall within certain ranges of scores. The score ranges on the graph and table are grouped into nine categories called Stanines. The chart and table allows you to compare the score distribution of your groups with the national standardisation sample. The distribution of the national standardisation sample is a "normal" distribution. Section C- Analysis by Spelling level The chart shows the percentage of the group answering correctly against the national average by level. Section D- Question by Question listing The chart and table shows the percentage of the group answering each question correctly against the national percentage. Section E- Percentage of pupils by Reading Age equivalent bands This table shows the percentage of pupils by reading age equivalent bands. Section F- Student listing This report lists the results for each student from the selected group of students who took the test. Scores for each student are shown including Standard Age Score (SAS), Stanine, National Percentile Rank, Group Rank, Raw Score and Spelling age. Page 1 7-Oct-29 3

Single Word Spelling Test Section: Class/Group: Sample Group A, B, C Section A - Comparison of Group Scores. Single Word Spelling Test Year On Year Comparisons The table shows the mean Standard Age Scores (SAS) for each of the two Single Word Spelling Tests and the mean score difference between the tests for each group of pupils. A SAS comes from comparing a pupil's raw score with the national standardisation sample, taking chronological age into account. This shows how each pupil is performing compared to the national average for their age. The national average SAS is 1. The table below shows the number of pupils completing each test as well the number of pupils completing both tests. SWST 12 SWST 11 Completing both tests Number of pupils 26 26 26 The chart shows the average SAS scores for each test (red dot) with 8% confidence bands (black horizontal line). Confidence bands are not displayed for groups with less than 5 pupils as these are usually very wide when there are few pupils. If the black horizontal line overlaps the national '1' line the results for your group do not differ significantly from the national average. The chart also shows the score distribution displayed as a box and whisker plot for each group of pupils. The graphic below shows an example for a group of pupils. Half the pupils have scores within the box range which in this example is between 9 and 11. It also shows that that 5% of pupils have SAS scores below 8, 25% have scores below 9, 5% have scores below 15 (vertical black line), 75% below 11 and 95% below 125.

Single Word Spelling Test Section: Class/Group: Sample Group A, B, C Section B - Progress Chart and Summary table. The Progress chart displays the two SAS scores for each pupil as a dot in a scatter plot. There should be one dot for each pupil except for pupils that have the same values on both tests and the dots will overlap. The range of expected scores on the second test are indicated by the upper and lower dashed red lines. Single Word Spelling Test Year On Year Comparisons Nationally, around 7% of pupils are expected to be within this range. Where a pupil's score is above the upper red dashed line they have made significantly more progress than expected, where their score is below the lower red dashed line they have made significantly less progress than expected. 15% of pupils nationally are above the upper red dashed line and a further 15% below the lower red dashed line. Section C - Pupil Listing Ordered by Surname. The listing includes pupil s SAS scores on each test as well as the difference in SAS scores. The progress category indicates if a pupil's progress based on the SAS score is in the, Upper or Lower categories. Nationally, around 7% of pupils are expected to be in the category, 15% of pupils in the Upper category and a further 15% in the Lower category. The listing includes pupils that have completed just one of the two tests and no progress categories are reported for these pupils. Page 2 7-Oct-29 14

Each pupil's scores are plotted as a dot. There should be one dot for each pupil, except where two pupils have identical scores on both tests and their dots will overlap. (2) Pupils are not expected to achieve exactly the same score on both occasions. The range of expected scores on the second test is indicated by the upper and lower dashed lines. Nationally, around 7% of pupils are expected to be within this range. Where a pupil's score is above the upper red dashed line they have made significantly more progress than expected, where their score is below the lower red dashed line they have made significantly less progress than expected. 15% of pupils nationally are above the upper red dashed line and a further 15% below the lower red dashed line.
