A reliable assessment informed by extensive research

PAIS is based on international assessment frameworks that ACER has developed over the last 15 years. The PAIS framework draws on content and skills taught across curricula from several countries and in international schools, and is not specific to a national curriculum. This international focus ensures that the tests are culturally and educationally appropriate for students in a range of different countries. Additionally, through ACER’s research programs, all PAIS test content has been trialled in international schools.
