Eligibility and Supervision of Children
Tests.School is primarily written for parents, guardians, educators, and students seeking general educational information.
Students may read publicly available educational content. However, a child should not submit personal information without the involvement and permission of a parent or guardian.
Children should not provide:
- their full name;
- home address;
- date of birth;
- school login;
- student identification number;
- private school records;
- medical or psychological information;
- a complete identifiable score report;
- another student’s information;
- secure assessment content.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information can contact info@tests.school.
Educational Purpose and Limitations
Tests.School content is intended to improve general understanding of school assessments.
It should not be treated as:
- an official assessment manual;
- an official school policy;
- a substitute for the current instructions supplied by a school;
- an individual psychological evaluation;
- a medical diagnosis;
- legal advice;
- a guarantee of programme eligibility;
- a complete curriculum;
- a substitute for professional educational support.
Assessment interpretation may depend on factors unavailable to Tests.School, including:
- the precise assessment version;
- grade and age;
- testing period;
- norm group;
- local school policy;
- approved accommodations;
- testing conditions;
- language background;
- previous scores;
- classroom work;
- teacher observations;
- measurement uncertainty.
Important decisions concerning a child should be discussed with the relevant school or appropriately qualified professional.
School and Provider Instructions Take Priority
Schools and official assessment providers control the assessment actually administered.
They may determine:
- the test version;
- testing date;
- grade or level;
- administration method;
- permitted materials;
- approved accommodations;
- preparation rules;
- score-report format;
- screening criteria;
- intervention procedures;
- gifted-identification procedures;
- placement decisions.
General information published on Tests.School cannot override those instructions.
Where a school’s current information conflicts with Tests.School, follow the school’s instructions and notify us of the possible discrepancy.
Preparation Restrictions
Some schools permit students to become familiar with broad question types.
Other schools or school boards prohibit test-specific preparation because an assessment is intended to present unfamiliar tasks.
You are responsible for confirming whether preparation is permitted before using:
- Tests.School sample questions;
- commercial preparation packs;
- timed simulations;
- grade-specific test exercises;
- recalled questions;
- similar assessment material.
Tests.School does not authorise preparation contrary to a school’s instructions.
Use of preparation material may be inappropriate where it could:
- compromise test validity;
- affect a universal-screening process;
- produce an inaccurate educational profile;
- violate test-security rules;
- conflict with school policy.
Independent Sample Questions
Unless expressly stated otherwise, sample questions published on Tests.School are independently created.
They are not:
- official operational test questions;
- copied assessment items;
- recalled secure questions;
- released questions supplied by a publisher;
- approved by an assessment provider;
- psychometrically calibrated;
- capable of producing an official score.
Tests.School questions cannot reproduce an official assessment’s:
- secure item bank;
- adaptive algorithm;
- difficulty calibration;
- score scale;
- norms;
- timing conditions;
- accessibility configuration;
- administration procedures.
Results on independent questions must not be used as a substitute for an official assessment.
No Guaranteed Outcome
Tests.School does not guarantee that reading an article, completing practice, or purchasing a linked product will result in:
- a higher test score;
- a specified percentile;
- a specified stanine;
- a particular scale score;
- a particular placement level;
- typical or accelerated growth;
- gifted identification;
- admission to a programme;
- eligibility for intervention;
- academic promotion;
- reduced anxiety;
- another educational outcome.
Results depend on many factors, including instruction, prior learning, engagement, language, health, testing conditions, assessment design, and ordinary measurement variation.
Any description of a possible benefit should not be interpreted as a promise of individual results.
