The SNP Diagnostic Assessment consists of two parts, the strategy interview and the knowledge test. The knowledge test can be carried out as a whole class assessment, but the strategy interview is a one-to-one, discussion based interview. The questions and recording sheets for both parts of the assessment can be downloaded below. The documents are available in both PDF and Word format - click on the appropriate icon beside each file.
