Learning Profile Assessment

Learning Profile Assessment

For students in Year 7 and above. Looking for a younger child? Take the Early Learning Profile instead →

The assessment takes around 5–7 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers, we’re simply interested in how you usually learn.

Learning Assessment Questions — select how strongly you agree with the below statements
Motivation & Engagement

Confidence, drive and consistency when approaching learning tasks.

I am confident I can do well in the subject I am getting help with, if I put in the effort.

I enjoy learning even when the topic is challenging.

I usually stay focused during independent study with minimal distraction.

When work becomes difficult, I keep going rather than stopping or moving on to something easier.

Planning & Self-awareness

Planning, self-monitoring and learning from experience.

Before trying to learn something new, I plan out how I will study it.

After studying, I check if I really understood the material by recalling it from memory.

I reflect on past feedback or mistakes to improve my next attempt.

When I don't understand something, I try a different way to approach it.

Study habits

Use of evidence-informed techniques for durable learning and flexible recall.

I space out my study over several days or weeks instead of cramming all at once.

I test myself on material (like vocabulary or key ideas) without looking at my notes first.

I try to explain information in my own words to check I really understand it.

When I practise, I mix together different topics and question types rather than finishing all of one kind first.

Critical Thinking & Application

Connecting ideas, weighing viewpoints and applying knowledge independently.

I try to make connections between different ideas I've learned.

When forming an opinion or argument, I consider more than one point of view before deciding.

I can take something I have learned and use it on a new or unfamiliar problem without being shown how.

How this learner works

What the learner reports about the habits and conditions that suit them. A reported preference is not evidence of what works best for them, and nothing in this section counts as a development area.

Before I start a new topic, I think about what I already know about it.

I am comfortable attempting questions on a topic before I feel I have fully learned it.

I keep my notes and study materials organised so I can find what I need.

I prefer learning with other students and discussing ideas together.
