Where can I find more Primary Checkpoint and Progression Test past papers?

We have a limited number of practice tests to ensure that the Checkpoint and Progression Tests remain effective tools for measuring a student's potential and progress. Repetitive testing of students does not support the purpose of these tests and can undermine their ability to provide valuable information to teachers. By providing a limited number of past papers we can maintain the quality and relevance of the assessments, allowing teachers to make informed decisions about individual learners and their educational needs.

Progression Test are not intended to be secure, high stakes tests; rather, they are intended to help measure a student’s potential and progress to enable teachers to make informed decisions about individual learners, their educational needs and where to focus their teaching efforts. Many of our schools use the Cambridge Primary and Secondary testing structure to assess learner performance and report progress to students and parents.

The results of the progression tests should be used formatively to provide information for teachers on useful remedial work in class rather than to focus on a summative measure of performance.

Schools can use the information in the reports in a variety of ways: 

• to identify strengths and weaknesses in individual learners or learner groups
• to help track progress of learners and learner groups
• to report back to learners, parents and teaching staff
• to reflect and enhance teaching and learning in the school
