ERB CTP Online vs Mathspace for Students

The Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP 5) is a battery of assessments designed to provide instructionally useful information about student performance in the key areas of school achievement: listening, reading, vocabulary, writing, and mathematics. In addition, CTP 5 includes for test levels 3 - 10 two tests to measure verbal and quantitative reasoning. The results of these measures can be used to compare more content-specific, curriculum-based measures of performance (scores on the achievement tests) to the more general, derived skills that both result from and enable school achievement (scores on the reasoning tests). This comparison can prove to be highly useful, especially for identifying those students whose skills and achievement scores show marked discrepancies. The online version is available through the CTP Portal for instant scoring and a science test in test levels 3 through 10. We know time is of the essence, so all of our online assessments provide instant feedback to schools and students, enabling real time guidance for instruction and learning.

Mathspace is the first computer based system designed to be the right help at the right time for every mathematics student. With over 80,000 interactive lessons, questions and step-by-step support built in, it's like having a tutor available 24/7. Support at every step: Students don't just submit a final answer and hope for the best. Mathspace provides instant feedback at each step of their working, so they can catch mistakes early, understand why, and keep moving forward with confidence. Write maths naturally: Our handwriting recognition lets students write their working by hand, just as they would on paper. Mathspace reads it, marks it, and responds — no keyboard required. Adaptive learning that keeps up: Every student's path through Mathspace is personalised. Questions adapt to each learner's level, so the work is always challenging without being overwhelming.
