They get a mark out of 100, a CEFR band, and a report a parent can actually read.</p>\n<div class=\"abm-card\">\n<p>It answers a question a lesson-by-lesson score never can: <strong>is this working?</strong></p>\n</div>\n<h2>What a pupil sits</h2>\n<p>Four papers, 25 marks each. They open like any other Araboo activity — no separate login, no exam software, nothing new to learn. Speaking and writing are marked by the pupil&#8217;s own teacher, so a voice recording is heard by someone who knows the child.</p>\n<h2>What a teacher sees</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A marksheet</strong> — every pupil&#8217;s mark out of 100, their CEFR band, how they compare with their year group, and how far they have moved since their last round.</li>\n<li><strong>A heatmap</strong> — which skill the class as a whole is weakest on, at a glance.</li>\n<li><strong>An Outcomes table</strong> — your school&#8217;s success rate beside every school&#8217;s. A class averaging 40% on a paper where everyone averaged 42% is not a class with a problem, and you should not have to guess which it was.</li>\n<li><strong>A follow-up plan</strong> — one click turns the round&#8217;s weakest areas into a practice plan you can assign.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>What a parent receives</h2>\n<p>A single page. The mark, the band, the four skills broken out with what each level <em>means</em>, whether their child is above or below the average for their year, and what to work on next. No ranks against named children. No jargon.</p>\n<h2>تقدّم يمكنك إثباته</h2>\n<p>Each round is compared with the pupil&#8217;s own earlier result, not with a target plucked from the air. A small wobble is reported as steady, because ordinary marking noise is not progress. When Araboo says a pupil has improved, they have improved.</p>\n<p>A pupil&#8217;s first round has no progress figure at all — there is nothing yet to compare it with. That is honest, and it is why September matters.</p>\n<h2>Ranking, and when we will not show it</h2>\n<p>A pupil&#8217;s position within their own school year is available from the first round.</p>\n<p>A position across <em>all</em> schools is withheld until enough schools have taken part. With two or three schools, &#8220;3rd of 40&#8221; would look precise and mean nothing. Araboo will tell you when the figure becomes available rather than print one it cannot stand behind.</p>\n<h2>Safeguarding</h2>\n<p>Pupils who join with a class code and no email address appear throughout by their alias — Falcon-123, never a real name. Reports are handed to the teacher, never emailed to a pupil. Nothing in the Benchmark asks a child for personal information.</p>\n<h2>Availability</h2>\n<p>The Arabic Benchmark opens in <strong>September</strong>, with the baseline round. It is a paid add-on to a school plan, charged per pupil. Further rounds follow in February and May, so the first true progress figure arrives in February and the first full year of growth in May.</p>\n<p class=\"abm-cta\"><a class=\"abm-btn\" href=\"/ar/contacts/\">Talk to us about taking part</a><a class=\"abm-btn abm-btn--ghost\" href=\"/ar/membership-plans/#addons\">See plans &amp; add-ons</a></p>\n</div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A termly Arabic assessment: four skills, a mark out of 100, a CEFR band, and a report parents can read.
