Learn more about the Progressive Achievement approach

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, but which is not specific to any national curriculum. This international focus ensures that the tests are culturally and educationally appropriate for students in different countries. Additionally, through ACER’s research, all PAIS test content has been trialled in international schools.

Secure, flexible assessments to suit your schedule

ACER’s sophisticated online platform helps you spend less time on administration and planning, and more time making the most of the insights from effective assessments.
