Additional Notes
1. Acknowledgement of registration will be made by return of post to the named coordinator(s).
2. Secondary Pre-16 computer-based assessment software requires Flash Player 11 (or later), Adobe PDF viewer and either Internet Explorer version 8 (or later) or
Firefox version 10 (or later) running on Microsoft Windows XP (SP3), Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 operating system. Windows 8/8.1 Touch Screens will
likely not function correctly with the assessment software. In addition the assessment feedback is designed to run on Microsoft Office 2007 or later. Every effort
is made to allow software to run on other products/versions, but we cannot guarantee functionality will be present when using an alternative setup.
3. PAPER Baseline Assessments: Additional and ASN materials can be arranged by submitting a request via the Secondary+ website. Select Assessment Admin |
Paper Assessments | Request Extra Materials, and complete a request for the appropriate year group.
4. Feedback for all assessments and questionnaires will be made available to download from the Secondary+ secure website.
