The IBT tests have given our school an opportunity to track individual progress and create a personalised learning plan for our students.

The tests conducted by ACER are an excellent tool for measuring student performance based on International Assessment Standards, and the School Reports are useful for Remedial Intervention and Curriculum Planning.
Kudos to the IBT Team for providing such a detailed diagnostic feedback to the students!
Excellent questions carefully thought out requiring thorough understanding of content covered… I think it is a wonderful tool as a benchmark and checking on whether or not we are global in our thinking and preparation of our pupils. It certainly adds value to our curriculum.
Gauteng, South Africa
Very helpful in identifying individual strengths and weaknesses, and in tracking student progress.
Administering the test is quite easy. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. The students were very engaged in taking the test. Everyone was so focused.
IBT provides a detailed evaluation of our students’ performance at an international level.
The test questions were clearly written and reflected the most essential skills required for learners of today. We also like the detailed reports where we can see content areas where we excel and need more challenge, and areas where we need improvement. Thanks ACER!
