Don't just do it, Do it Right! Diagnostic Tests

Over the last 3 years, Björn Haßler, Mike Barry, Douglas Quinney and myself, aided by a development grant from the LTSN Maths, Stats & OR Network have been investigating ‘The Experience of Fresher Students in Mathematics Diagnostic Testing’. Some of the case studies gathered during our survey have been reported elsewhere (Diagnostic Testing for Mathematics - LTSN MathsTEAM http://www.mathstore.ac.uk/mathsteam ). Our final report will also be posted on the mathstore web site, whilst this report hopefully provides a ‘taster’ to encourage you to look at it for more details.
