What happens if I set the wrong form of the SRT?

Students only need to sit one Sparx Reading Test at a time, but we offer schools the choice to set Form 1 or Form 2. We recommend sitting Form 1 at the start of the year when you onboard your students and then Form 2 at the end of the year. The two tests are very similar in design but have different questions. 

We give schools the option to do two different tests so that they can track any changes to students' reading ages. 

If you set the wrong test for your students and they end up sitting the same test twice, there is a small chance that the data on the report may show that they are slightly stronger as the students have seen the test before. However, because there are a lot of questions, and these adapt as the student progresses, you should still be able to get a useful comparison. 

If you students sit Form 2 first and then Form 1, this will be fine too! 

If you have created a test using the wrong form and would like to correct it, you can easily cancel a test and recreate it by using the steps in this article
