University of Fort Hare UFH National Benchmark Test NBTs
University of Fort Hare UFH National Benchmark Test NBTs – see details below:
The National Benchmark Test (NBTs) were commissioned by Universities South Africa (formerly: Higher Education South Africa: HESA) with the task of assessing academic readiness of first year university students as a supplement to secondary school reports on learning achieved in content specific courses.
The NBTs assess the ability to combine aspects of prior learning in competency areas
– Academic Literacy (AL),
– Quantitative Literacy (QL) and
– Mathematics (MAT)
that directly impact on success of first year university students. AL and QL are combined in the AQL test and written in a three hour morning session; the MAT is written in a three hour afternoon session. Both are administered under standardized testing conditions at sites across South Africa on designated ‘national’ test dates.
The NBTP reports results on a scale of 10-99 and by Benchmarks to better inform learners and universities about the level of academic support that may be required for successful completion of programmes. Results are also used by universities in course development, programme planning and placement decisions.
