Check-in assessment overview
Overview of the online Check-in reading and numeracy assessments for students in Years 3 to 9, and the writing assessment for Year 6.
An annual assessment for students in Years 3 to 9 in NSW Public Schools.
All students complete a reading and a numeracy test of approximately 50 questions each. Year 6 students also complete a writing assessment.
These assessments support the identification of students’ performance in literacy and numeracy and inform next steps in teaching and learning. Feedback is available in Scout and PLAN2, aligned to NSW syllabuses, the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions, and targeted teaching strategies.
