The diagnostic test
 There are 11 sections to the test, one for each strand.

It needs and it needs to be this length in order to do its job properly.
Each section has numbered questions which correspond directly to each target on the Diagnostic Grid.
For example if a student gets questions 1, 2 and 3 correct on the ‘Place Value’ part of the test but struggles with question 4, their Place Value target would be the 4th entry on this row of the Diagnostic Grid-ie Use decimals in context of of money and measure, initially to 2 decimal places. Develop understanding through practical work.
