Summational assessments

Summational exists to support schools with assessing the effectiveness of their curricula. A feature of the Elemental trial was some surprising data on what concepts pupils truly understand, with under 40% of Y11 students being able to reliably identify 6/8 or the sound of a trombone.

Summational's key features

Assessments page

Summational assessments draw from any content within the Elemental platform and teachers can write their own custom questions to align assessments closely to individual school requirements. Assessment length is predictable and these can also be used for cover.

Summational's pre-made Year 7 assessments, with question sheets, answer sheets and AI marking upload

Computer-based assessment

Assessments can be taken at computers with a randomised order so that students are not taking the same question simultaneously.

Paper-based question sheet

Assessments can also be taken on paper sheets so that a class can undertake the assessment without needing computers. These can be scanned back into the platform and AI marked.
