The International Benchmark Tests (IBT) by ACER provides data to understand where students are in their learning and helps teachers design targeted lesson plans and monitor if students have made progress over time. The progressive achievement scale, with their research-based approach which provides detailed description of students’ learning and understanding while monitoring their progress over time, is one of its greatest assets.
