With this product buyers are receiving the first type of assessments which will one day dominate the curriculum; self-marking multiple choice tests. The tests are in a universal application Microsoft Internet Explorer, taking 30 seconds to upload onto the schools network and taking less than 200 kb of space. There are three assignments, one for each year of key stage three. The year seven assessment is based on the Roman Empire and Medieval Realms) Britain 1000-1500), year eight is based on Making of the UK (Britain 1500-1750) and year nine on the First World War. Each assessment contains a set of carefully written multiple choice questions drafted by an experienced head of history which test students on what they know, understand and can do. These tests have been running successfully in a real school for the last five years; they have been tried and tested. There are a set of online sources, which accompany each test, assessment students on their understanding and ability to handle historical evidence. Less advanced students who find writing skills challenging will perform on an equal footing with other students. When the tests are completed an adjusted score is given on the screen in a percentage, based on a formula calculating the balance of correct answers and wrong guesses.
