Static Tests
Static tests allow stakeholders to keep track of students’ progress and statistically measure their level of improvement.
Simulated Test Environment!
Each GoGSAT practice test displays a timer that counts down the time remaining. After completing several GoGSAT practice tests your child will become comfortable with timed tests, and will be better able to pace his or her work in order to maximise their final examination score.
Timed Tests!
Your child can pause the timer and take a break, or even wait until another day to complete a timed test! Once time expires, the test is automatically graded and the results made available. Or, if your child finishes the test early, just press a button to stop the timer and have the test graded immediately. At GoGSAT we've worked hard to make sure test taking is as convenient as possible while giving your child the experience necessary to succeed in their examination.
