General Information

Every child's performance is reported to parents via the WAMSE Individual student report. These are normally distributed with the schools end-of-year report.

The WAMSE Individual student report contains the following information:

• Performance in relation to the population of students in his or her year group who were assessed in Western Australia
• Progress in relation to the levels of achievement typically associated with the years of upper primary and/or lower secondary schooling.
• Various skills and knowledge that students typically demonstrate in Science and/or Society and Environment as they progress through the years of upper primary and/or lower secondary schooling.
• Population comparisons on the report scale display the range of achievement of the test cohort. The student’s result is plotted to show his or her position on this scale.

NOTE: These results are obtained from a limited testing situation and provide, at best, a ‘snapshot’ of the student’s achievement. They do not replace the judgements made by the classroom teacher.
