Find a reading level
Passages and comprehension questions are levelled the way Lexile® measures a text: low numbers for the simplest sentences, higher numbers as vocabulary and sentence structure get more complex.
Full placement test
One test spanning Foundation through Year 6. It starts around a Year 3 level, then adapts after every answer — get a run of questions right and it steps up to harder ones; struggle and it steps back down — so it converges on each student's real level in real time.

This score is estimated from the mix of easier and harder questions in this test: it finds roughly where correct answers stop being the norm and incorrect answers take over. A student who answers everything in this bank correctly can score above the hardest question actually asked, up to the real Lexile® scale ceiling of 2000L — that part is an extrapolation, not a directly tested measurement. This is not an official Lexile® measure — those come from MetaMetrics' own assessments or text analysis.
