The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment is a statewide assessment that helps teachers identify the literacy and numeracy skills which your child brings with them at the beginning of Kindergarten. It has been conducted in all NSW public schools since 2010.
The assessment will take 30-40 minutes and will be conducted by a teacher on site at the school. The assessment does not require students to prepare or study, so don’t be concerned if your child can’t answer all the questions.
Further information on Best Start is available from the NSW Department of Education website
