HSC Diagnostic Topic Tests
Neap Diagnostic tests by topic are uniquely designed for teachers to
help their students maximise HSC results. Teachers are able to use Neap's
Diagnostic Topic Tests (DTTs) to easily monitor the performance of students and
to identify their strengths and weaknesses during the course of the teaching
year. Not just a collection of assessment items, Neap DTTs provide a diagnostic
profile of each student and the class as a whole. Teachers can identify
and isolate misconceptions as they occur and can address these immediately
before new work is presented. They incorporate approaches to answering
questions, identify concepts being tested and rules and formula to be
applied, offer advice and hints on effective exam techniques and provide
a break-down of the mark allotment for each question.
Features of Neap's Diagnostic Topic Tests:
- new and original questions written for the current HSC syllabuses
- questions that develop skills and competencies appropriate to each
topic
- an identification of concepts being tested
- different approaches to answering questions
- an identification of rules and formulas to be applied
- fully-worked solutions to all questions
- advice and hints on effective exam techniques
- diagnostic comments and mark allocations to all questions
Each set covers all topics in all syllabuses with individual tests
ready to photocopy and use as needed. Tests contain exam-style questions
making them suitable for both topic-testing and exam practice. Fully-worked
solutions to all questions are provided along with diagnostic comments
and mark allocation.
Neap DTTs are specifically written when a course has been newly accredited
or has undergone major revisions by the Board of Studies. The extensive network of teachers who produce Neap DTTs are
all experts in their fields and have vast experience in teaching the HSC.
They include State Reviewers of the HSC, experienced writers and markers
of HSC exam papers, authors of current HSC textbooks, members of verification
and review boards for HSC subjects, and panel members on the implementation
of the New South Wales schools curriculum. This ensures that all new curriculum
requirements for each subject, as set by the Board of Studies, are encompassed in
every set of DTTs produced.
