Message: Hello! I saw this Tried & Tested Review on Teach Primary Magazine's website and thought you might like it - please find an excerpt below: Rising Stars Assessment Bank Imagine being able to access thousands of online questions and build your own premium-quality assessments in maths, SPAG and Science.

It also saves having to raid tired old SATs papers and other test bundles that are past their use-by date. Intuitive is a word that gets thrown around a lot when talking about websites, and Rising Stars Assessment Bank is definitely that. Knowing where everything is to quickly access what you want is simple, it’s very responsive and I’d definitely use it a lot, and for all kinds of purposes.
