STAR

NZCER has fully revised the popular Supplementary Test of Achievement in Reading (STAR) for Years 3-9.  Now known as the STAR reading test, it has a new look and up-to-date items, with student results able to be mapped onto a single scale. There are 10 tests - more than previously - and teachers can select the most suitable one to use. The revised edition is available for sale now, for use in schools in 2012.
