The Musical Contexts Year 9 Paper Music Baseline Assessment can be used to obtain instant data to assess pupil's prior knowledge and understanding of music.
The test has 50 QUESTIONS and can therefore be easily converted to a percentage.
The test is the same as the Musical Contexts Year 9 Online Digital Music Baseline Assessment Tests, but presented in a 4-page hard copy paper-based booklet, designed to be copied back-to-back (duplex) to produce a pupil answer booklet for those without computer access.
The test is in two parts. The first section (23 questions), requires the Year 8 Paper Music Baseline Assessment MP3 Audio File (included with this bundle) to be played continuously (or paused between sections/questions although silence and announcements are included). The second section (27 questions) does not require any music or audio extracts and teachers are free to set a suitable time period for completion.
Instructions and Guidelines on how to complete the Baseline Assessment and Answers and Mark Schemes included. Available as both Word and PDF documents.
