What does AIM test?
The AIM Assessment Program is made up of tests in English (Reading, Writing and Spelling) and Mathematics. The tests are based on the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS), the curriculum used in Victorian schools from Prep to Year 10. All questions are associated with a Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) standard, and a skill descriptor identifies the particular focus of each question. Tests are designed to assess students’ abilities to apply their skills in Reading, Writing, Spelling and Mathematics. Although they are not designed as diagnostic tools, student response patterns can help identify certain points of strength or weakness in their learning.
