The aim of the AEAS Assessment Report is to provide Australian schools with independent and objective data on each student's educational capacities and functioning covering English language, mathematical reasoning and general ability.

The AEAS Assessment Report provides Australian schools with a screening and/or selection tool that provides information about the student that is independent from school reports and assists the school to make an appropriate offer.

The Report also provides students, families (and their agents) with information to assist in deciding on a suitable English language preparation program, which school, and in selecting a course of study. The AEAS Assessment Report assists the student and their agent in identifying the school that will best meet their needs.

The Assessment Report provides results for each test component reported as a raw score and a normalised score. Normalised (standard) scores range from 1 to 9 with a mean of 5. This method of reporting results provides helpful information by placing an individual student’s result within a comparable group of Australian students.

The AEAS Assessment does not depend on students reaching a fixed pass mark. Schools will individually determine the minimum requirement for a student to be accepted.

AEAS Assessment results are compared with the student’s recent school reports which provide an indication of academic performance.

The Report recommends:
-	The length of English language study required
-	The school entry level
-	The course of study (if appropriate).

AEAS head office will forward the completed Assessment Report to:
-	The school(s) the student is applying to
-	The student’s agent (to be forwarded to)
	The student and his/her family

Reports are generally available within two weeks of testing or sooner if an application is urgent.

Upon receipt of the AEAS Assessment Report, the School should then advise the student, through the appropriate representative, as to the result of their application. The AEAS Associate will then ensure that all necessary details are followed through.

The AEAS Assessment Report provides schools with a student profile that is more comprehensive than any other available test.

For students from the People’s Republic of China, test results will be made directly available to the Australian Government upon request. The Australian Government requires that students from the People’s Republic of China achieve:

è a minimum score of 36 on the English language proficiency test and require no more than 30 weeks preliminary English language tuition, or

è a score greater than 61 if they are not undertaking preliminary English language tuition.
