Pre-testing essentials
Assessing students with Recall requires no specialist training. However, before attempting to test any student it is advisable for the administrator to run through the complete suite of tests in order to familiarise themselves.
Before testing, each student's details must be uploaded to Testwise.
Testing environment
Assessors are encouraged to use a quiet space with minimal distractions. Ideally, this should be a separate room, but Recall has been designed to be robust for use in the ordinary classroom, provided visual and auditory distraction have been minimised.
Assessors should consider the position of the computer and the use of headphones is highly recommended to minimise auditory distractions.
Setting Up
Assessors should check that the equipment being used for the assessment is functioning correctly and meets minimum system requirements.
Time needed for testing
Recall takes 20–30 minutes to complete however no time limit should be imposed – children should be instructed to complete the tasks in their own time.
