Reach is now open.
A full-cohort assessments package that gives you an objective annual benchmark of your students’ progress
From the creators of ICAS, Reach is a suite of annual online Year 2 to Year 10 benchmarking assessments for schools who wish to tailor and fine-tune classroom practice.
It puts powerful diagnostic data into the hands of teachers and helps stretch students with a wide range of academic abilities to discover their full potential.
Reach covers seven literacy and STEM subjects across primary and secondary year levels. Its engaging questions draw on the decades of rigour and expertise of the team behind ICAS.
If your school likes ICAS, it’ll love Reach.

“A great product with excellent back-up support. The students found the platform easy to navigate, and the test itself was easy enough [for certain students] to make a start and difficult enough for [other] students to be challenged. The reports provided a comprehensive analysis of student performance.”
Berwick Primary School (Victoria)
