Girl in Classroom GL Assessment has developed a powerful online testing system that has now delivered over 2.4 million online tests to schools in the UK and over 70 countries worldwide. These tests are just as robust and valid as their paper-based equivalent, yet the system offers benefits such as greater flexibility, instant scoring and reporting, and increased motivation for pupils.
