3. Choosing a PAT or STAR Test Level You need to decide the test to be used for assessing beginning and end point achievement for ALL students. The main considerations are to use the tool your school already uses and ensure the test level of difficulty is appropriate for the students. NZCER suggest you look at the student’s 2014 end of year Best Fit National Standards Teacher Judgement and choose the test that matches that year level. PAT and STAR: It is very important that you fill in the test you have chosen for each student on the Student Details excel spreadsheet, so that NZCER send you the right test. If you don’t supply this information or are not sure of the test you should give, NZCER will supply you with tests the year level below the student’s year for the beginning of year test and at the student’s year for the end of year test.
