For both the Communication module and the Application of Number module, this comment will indicate the actual level that the student is working at. Fro all other modules, the comments will consist of statements about the student's cognitive ability in the relevant modules.

The CD can also be used by careers and personal advisors dealing with clients who have learning difficulties.

The report Assessability produces outlines the range of scores obtained and indicates the time taken to complete the assessments.
