Cambridge Checkpoint tests have been designed to assess learning at the end of Cambridge Secondary 1. They are available in English, mathematics and science, and give valuable feedback on learners’ strengths and weaknesses before they progress to the next stage of education.
The tests are marked in Cambridge and provide schools with an external international benchmark for learner performance. Each learner receives a statement of achievement and a diagnostic feedback report, giving schools detailed information and parents extra trust in the feedback they receive.
We hold two Cambridge Checkpoint test series each year, in May and October. The tests cover all major areas of learning in the Cambridge Secondary 1 curriculum frameworks for English, mathematics and science. Schools teaching the Cambridge Secondary 1 English as a Second Language curriculum can enter learners for tests provided by our sister organisation, Cambridge English Language Assessment. The Cambridge English: Preliminary for Schools (PET) is suitable for learners at Cambridge Secondary 1 stage.
