Progress Test in Maths

The Progress Test in Maths (PTM) assessment enables you to accurately measure how your school and your students are performing – student by student, class by class and year by year. 

Standardised on over 45,000 children, the easy-to-use tests assess students’ mathematical skills and knowledge, helping you to understand current levels of attainment and identify any gaps in learning at both an individual and cohort level. 

PTM assesses two dimensions of maths learning: 

1. Mathematical content knowledge (curriculum category) 
2. Understanding and applying mathematical processes (process category) 

The tests can be used initially at the start of the year to set a baseline and from then on at the end of the year to measure and track progress. A dedicated transition test is available, designed specifically for the start of secondary school. Detailed reports for teachers analyse key dimensions of learning and provide a question-by-question breakdown to help identify those students who may need extra support, and in which areas.
