Continuous evaluation of student learning is an integral part of the instructional process in the SABIS^® system. Frequent and regular testing is conducted in order to evaluate student learning and permit timely, positive intervention. Testing students as such has a number of very important advantages:

	Students are trained to perform well under the pressure of time
	Students develop the ability to focus and to sustain concentration for increasingly long periods
	The feedback from testing allows close monitoring and follow-up

 

 

The proprietary SABIS^® Software System provides many programs that allow prompt, reliable assessment of student knowledge as well as effective follow-up. One such program, the SABIS Academic Monitoring System^® (SABIS AMS^®), is used to assess student knowledge of every concept taught. The SABIS AMS^® allows ‘gaps’ in student knowledge to be pinpointed as they form. Working as a team, teachers and students then focus their efforts on ‘filling the gaps’. The SABIS AMS^® allows the progress of every student to be continuously monitored, problem areas to be identified, and the most appropriate solutions to be implemented.
