Exact meets the rigorous requirements of exam access arrangements applications in a single digital assessment, providing standardised measures and detailed item-level analysis.
Easily screen students and produce simple reports that flag which pupils could qualify for additional arrangements to help them achieve results that reflect their ability.
Use Exact data to build a picture of need (required by Part 1 of JCQ Form 8) that focuses on the students most likely to be eligible so that you save time and money. A second parallel form (administered by a specialist assessor) enables submission of the evidence required in Part 2.
Exact is not a dedicated test of reading or literacy attainment. If you wish to establish a detailed understanding of reading skills, we would strongly encourage you to use the NGRT, which provides a more robust profile of reading strengths and challenges.
By identifying those students who require reasonable adjustments, more students will achieve exam results that reflect their true capabilities.
If appropriately supervised, Exact can be used for whole-class screening ensuring that students who might be eligible for exam access arrangements are not missed.
Exact data is designed to help with the process of exam access applications, reliably identifying students who may be eligible, giving the evidence you need to complete Part 1 and Part 2 (if completed by an assessor) of JCQ Form 8.
Exact compares individual students to national benchmarks providing item level analysis in word recognition, spelling, reading comprehension and dictation (typing and handwriting speeds) helping to target support.

Assesses the skills required to access formal examinations, identifying which students could qualify for extra help to achieve the exam grades that reflect their ability.
Data from Exact feeds into the exam access arrangements application process. One form tests groups of students and the parallel form is administered by a specialist assessor.
How each individual student compares to a representative sample on word recognition, spelling, reading comprehension and dictation (typing and handwriting speeds), clearly signaling areas that are likely to compromise exam performance.
Exact was designed to be administered with students who have been identified as needing adaptations in the classroom and are likely to be supported through their normal way of working. Typically, the test would be administered either one-to-one or with small groups to ensure that the handwriting subtest (particularly) is closely monitored. Administering the test with a high number of students simultaneously may limit the degree to which accurate observations can be made of students during the test process. We strongly advise to validate results from the handwriting dictation test to ensure that accurate raw data is used to generate SAS.
