The NBTP was commissioned in 2005 by HESA. In 2018, the project reached maturity as a standalone and self-funding project. The four core objectives listed below have remained a consistent thread in the evolution of the NBTP since inception:
- To assess entry-level academic and quantitative literacy and mathematics proficiency of students;
- To assess the relationship between higher education entry level proficiencies and school-level exit outcomes;
- To provide a service to HE institutions requiring additional information to assist in placement of students in appropriate curricular routes; and
- To assist with curriculum development, particularly in relation to foundation courses.
- In essence, then, the NBTs are designed to provide criterion-referenced information to supplement the NSC results, and to help institutions to meet the educational needs of their incoming students as effectively as possible.
