About this template
Placement decides whether the first term is a good fit or a demoralising one, yet it is often set from a single test score. This assessment rates literacy, numeracy, reasoning, study habits and language support on one 1-5 rubric, totals each dimension into bands, and turns the profile into a personalized AI PDF report the family can read - with the gaps and the next steps named, not just a level.
