CCEA Adaptive Assessments

Back to News
20th Nov 2025

Primary 6 children have taken part in CCEA’s Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) pilot this week- an adaptive standardised test in literacy and numeracy. The 30 minute tests are adaptive depending on the child’s answers and levels of proficiency. This means they are accessible to all pupils. Children reported quite enjoying the tests which is always a massive positive!
