AGAT supports teachers to understand their students’ ability to learn, providing rich insights into their cognitive abilities that can be used to:
- inform and track the development of students’ reasoning capabilities
- identify students most likely to benefit from extension, including entry into specialist classes or selective programs
- compare with students’ academic achievement to better understand their additional support needs.
How schools can use AGAT results
- select students for entry into a high-performing school or specialist classes
- monitor progress for students who may not demonstrate strong skills in reading and mathematics
