First, you need to register your school or test centre on-line: click on How to register to read the computer requirements and register your school. Registration is free, and does not oblige you to enter students. You can enter your own students and/or accept students from other schools.

Once you have registered, you will receive an e-mail giving you a username and password which will let you into the Administration website. In this website, you enter the details of students who will be taking the tests. Students have to be entered before the closing date of any given test session: this gives us time to send out the paper materials for the tests. To find out test dates and closing dates, click on Test information. Test packs cost £40.00 for a pack of 5 for 8-11 year-olds and £50.00 for a pack of 5 for 12-14 year-olds and include the relevant mark scheme.

Before the tests, we strongly recommend you read the Administrator's Handbook which is available on the home page of the website. Shortly before the tests you will receive copies of the paper materials. Your students will be able to sit the computer tests using their unique username and password via the website.
