What is the ASER Test?
The ASER Baseline is the first step in understanding a child’s learning foundation. It checks if a child has the basic literacy and numeracy skills they need before they can access grade-level learning.
Think of it as a simple, quick screening — not an exam. Just a tool to know where to begin.
What does the ASER Test include?
There are two parts, and both must be conducted:
1️⃣ ASER Foundational Literacy Test
2️⃣ ASER Foundational Numeracy Test
Each comes with a standard test sheet.
What counts as “clearing” the ASER Test?
✅ The child must be able to solve ALL the levels in both the literacy and numeracy sheets
❌ If a child is unable to complete all levels in either one — they have not cleared the ASER test.
This helps us identify children who need urgent foundational support.
⏱️ How long does it take?
The ASER is quick and usually done 1:1 with a child.
It typically takes about 05–10 minutes per child.

📋 Where to Record ASER Assessment Results
As you begin the MAD-Graded Assessment in next part, you’ll first come across the first section in both the Literacy and Numeracy Google Forms for MAD assessment that asks:
> “Has the child cleared the ASER baseline assessment?”
(Yes / No)
Here’s how it works:
✅ If you select "Yes": The form will proceed to the next section—the MAD-graded assessment. You’ll continue conducting the full assessment with the child.
❌ If you select "No": The form will automatically end there. You will not need to go further or fill in any additional questions. The form will submit on its own—you don’t have to do anything manually.
Important: Before you begin filling the form, simply note down whether the child was able to clear the ASER baseline or not (Yes/No). When you're ready to fill in the MAD-graded form, you’ll see the option to record this right at the start.
