Assessments
Gain greater insights into a student's academic profile
The Academic Profiling Test (APT) was developed to assist consultants and families get the best understanding of a student's academic ability.
It is the best starting point for any educational advice as it shows precisely how the candidate compares to other student's studying in a UK education setting. It consists of an online assessment that can be taken at home and can identify learning gaps, demonstrate performance to future schools or monitor academic progress. It provides our consultants with essential insights into the best learning environment for our placement clients.
Creating a clear picture of academic potential
The APT is a comprehensive aptitude assessment for 6-16 year olds using an online assessment - which is taken at home - that compares performance against UK national standards. Designed by a range of experts, from former headteachers to assessment specialists, the APT allows for an accurate measurement of each candidate's unique learning ability.
​
The APT can be used to identify learning gaps, demonstrate performance to future schools and courses, or monitor academic progress, or even as familiarisation for other reasoning-type entrance examinations such as UKiset, ISEB Pre-test or 11+ entrance exams.
​
The APT is presented to schools as part of an Individual Learner Profile, created by TEE after consultation with the applicant and their family. Schools in the UK value the quality of data and the key indicators provides in terms of establishing whether a student is suitable to go through their application process – not only does the test show the student's current academic profile, but can be used to identify future potential.​
