The outey circle represents 100%. The section between two axes represents a core skill in a subject, and the shaded region plots your performance on the skill The greater the height of the shaded section, the better the performance Understanding Skills The main difference between the ASSET(Assessment of Scholastic Skills through Educational Testing) tests and the regular school tests lies in the fact that ASSET tests are SKILL-BASED. Skills or competencies refer to specific abilities that a student develops. A skill-based test can be contrasted with a fact- or memory-based test. In the latter type of tests, the student is asked to recall or reproduce facts more often than to apply the concepts taught to them. However, most competitive exams, entrance tests as well as international admission tests (like the GRE) tend to be skill-based. This is because it is being widely appreciated that a student's understanding can be tested better with a skill-based test rather than a fact-based one. Facts and their recall are important; however, they should not be overemphasized and ASSET believes in this.Fe xs Your Score: 25/35 (===) o% NA ENGLISH PERFORMANCE ‘YS - Your Score (%) Percentile*: 83 107% — NAN As) ‘SKILL-BASED SUMMARY AND STRENGTH / WEAKNESS ANALYSIS No. | Core Skill ‘Sub Skill Answered Right | Answered Wrong | Graph SW Deduces word mesnings frm a contextual ees 192428 — Veesinanyin Contos | hes synonyms, antonyms 2 andotherwords ns |3:26,34 | Knows conect pelings and : phonies in words 9.13.20 coo 4 | rma Uiage | tows putin and venece | 35 oa a aeeneet Understands he usage of . grammar concepts 6 1425 = derites and recall det facts in 6 Hepasage 215,162229 jebsiarannaion Litera Companion ; nderiandsorganiation a 7 context of he passage 1agina7a2 [21 ier S 8 Analyses and infers hidden ideas | 4,5,18,30,31 23, Gu Ss Extended Reatoning - Interprets the lines of a poem 811 10 | a a | “Tie peepee png lion ave one Sts haw th peomance “BER a aida Wand = 5% wad aS Oni sig tn 3 uso coed “Penance he pre ores tt cored lowe hao nh soup ae 72, it mest 72% oa her Dovtpaing sme have crs han yuo, Alo smart oh op 28% fal rpg cen ob A26ENGLISH SCORE CARD Q ‘Shall Tested ij2|[3/4 Error Indicated 1_ Understands organisation and context of the passage D[D/v [46% 2. dentifes and recalls dec facts in the passage B |B lv [6% 3 [Identifies synonyms, antonyms and other words D [Div [4% 4: Analyses and infers hidden ideas Clic |v |66% 55 [Analyses and infers hidden ideas cl Cc |v |30% 6 [Understands the usage of rammar concepis ALA | + [79% 77 Knows punctuation and sentence formation B | C [R)) 40% | Unable to use comect punctuation for sentences 'S Interprets the ines of a poem ALA ¥ |68% 9.

You might be confusing it wth " week * which means * a period of seven days "in this sentence, we mean, " We clean our cycles once in seven days ." Therefore only option C is wrong in the sentence and is spett wrongly as i oes not match withthe meaning of the sentence. The word," cycles "is spelt correctly D: Only "neice "is spet wrongly. The correct speling is * niece words, * friend, height, piece " are spelt correctly B: The sound of "u"is the SAME as in“ mug "in the words, " must, munch, muscle *. Only in" music * the sound of "ut is the SAME as in” huge *. So only " music "has a different sound of “u" from the others. CC: Only in option C, the words, * whole " and * hol sentences show the correct meaning, i the words, * ‘changed places with each other. "The position of i and *e" got exchanged. All the other * are used in the correct places. In all the other options, the here *,* to" and "too" and " week * and " weak * CC: The word, * crane " has the same vowel sound as " grey *. The vowel sound of "crash" and " crack "is the same as, " back "or" rasii™ or* las". Although " grey " and * crew "both have an "e" in them, the sounds ofthe "e" ae diferent in ‘ath the words. The vowel Sound of "cfew-" sounds the Samo as " grow. D: Only D has a word with the wrong spelling. It is" because ". The letters " spelling mistake in any word in the sentences in A, Bor C. 7 and “u' are exchanged. There is no B: Only " gaurd " is spelt wrongly. The correct spelling is " guard *. The posi other words, "grunt, guest. guide " are spelt correctly. : You may be confused with the speliing of " calenda But you must remember that the correct spelling is" calendar of u" and "a" got exchanged. All the " as the ending sound is the same, whether itis, "er * or * ar and not" calender ". So option A is not the correct anwer. Maths Skill: Arithmetic operations: multiplication D: There are 5 stamps in a row. There are 6 rows in an album, So 6 rows can contain 5 +5+5+5+5 +5 stamps. 5 + §+5+5+545=6%5 And 6 x 5 is 30. 5 x 6 is also 90. Hence D is the answer. D: The monster in the figure has 4 hands. 2 such monsters will have 4 + 4 hands. 15 such monsters will have 4 + 4 + 4.4 (15 times). Adding 4 fifteen times is the same as 4 « 15, So 15 such monsters will have 4 * 15 hands. D: There are 4 circles each having § totfees. So there are 5 +5 +5 + 5 toffees. 5+ 5+5+5=4%5, And 4x5 = 20. So the given picture shows the fact that 4 x 5 = 20. ASK1=141414141,S05x1=5. Hence As the answer. CC: Ravi cannot recall the table of 4 and does not know what 4 eights are. 4 x 8 = 8 +8 + 8 + 8. So he can add 8 four times to get the answer, B: A tailor has to put § buttons on a shirt, He has to put 5 + 5 = 2 * 5 buttons on two shirts. How many buttons he will need for 12 shirts? 12 » § buttons, right? D: 4x 9= 36, 4 x 8 = 32. How much more than 32 is 962 4, right? Hence D is the answer and not A. B: 3 times 13 is the same as 13+ 13 + 13, And 13+ 13+ 1 than 13 and not 3 times 13. So A cannot be the answer. 3 * 19, which is 39. Hence 8 is the answer. 16 is 3 more Skill: Basic shapes and geometry D: You can clearly see that the cricket stadium and the football stadium are not triangles. Look at the base ball stadium. Can you see that one of its sides is curved, as if itis a part ofa circle? Also the corner at the top is also rounded. A triangle should have 3 straight sides. Its comers should not be rounded. So the baseball stadium is also not an exact triangle. ‘A26 218, 19, 23. 24, 26. 21. at. 32, D: The given shape has 6 comers as pointed below. tt : Can you see that the two eyes and the head of the cat are circles? So there are 3 circles in the figure, You seem to hhave missed out the third circle which forms the face. D: A line that is not curved is a straight line. Are the lines drawn by Raman, Pinky or Ketan curved? No! So they are all straight lines. A straight line does not have to be a ‘standing’ line or a ‘sleeping’ line. Even slanting lines are straight ines, B: Try completing the square. The completed square will have 3 matchsticks on all i's four sides. So we will need 3 match sticks to make the missing side of the square and 1 more to complete the side at the top. So we will need 4 match sticks in al. B: Look at Jojo's drawing. Is its ‘head’ drawn using straight lines alone? No! It is partly curved. You can see curved lines in Vibha's and Sushi's drawing too. Is there a curved line in Ankita’s drawing? No! So Ankita has used only straight lines to make her drawing. D: Straight lines are lines that are not curved. How many lines can you see in the figure, that are not curved? Can you see 1 ‘sleeping line’, 2 ‘standing’ lines and 4 slanting lines? So there are 7 straight lin in all, Remember slanting lines are straight lines too! CC: Can you see two tines that are curved in the figure? Other than this you can also see a ‘standing’ line, a ‘sleeping’ line and a slanting line, These three are not curved as the first and the fourth lines, are they? So they are all straight lines Remember, slanting lines are also straight lines. So thore are 3 straight lines in the figure. Science Skill: Complex analysis, data interpretation, integrating different concepts A: Shalu will take the most time to slide down the slide which is the longest. The red slide is the longest and so she will take the most time to slide down it ‘A: The gutter is open. To make sure that nobody falls inside it, it should be covered or there should be something that ccan alert people that there Is an open gutter. Announcing on radio might take time and not everyone would be listening to 2 radio. So that will not help. What will help is to place big stones around it so that people would see those stones and ‘come to know that there is some danger there, D: As we can see from the direction symbol, north of Theni Hospital would be higher up in the map. Of the given four places in the options, Laksmipuram is such a place, higher up in the map than Theni Hospital. Andipatt is to the right of ‘Theni Hospital and slightly lower. So it cannot be the answer. C: Check the directions given on the right side. We can see that in the given map of the village, the river is in the north, the forest is in the east, the road is in the south and the farm in the west. D: Check what all Tina saw the in the sky. One of the things she saw was the Sun. The Sun cannot be seen at night. So it cannot be the night sky. The Moon can be seen sometimes during the day and so it must be the day sky. (C: Check where TARA and Qutub Minar are in the map. Imagine you are going from TARA to Qutub Minar. You will ind ‘Andheria More to your right on the way. Another way to check is to rotate the map to the left so that Qutub Minar is to the top and Tara is at the bottom. The road is going up. You will clearly see Ancheria More to the right. Qutub Minar is the final place where Ayesha is going and its straight down the road. I won't come to the right. ‘A: Have you looked att the map carefully? Which two places are nearest to each other? You will find that places 5 and 6 {are next to each other and they are nearest to each other. They are the Bank and the Sweet shop. The Doctor’ clinic ‘and the Chemist are also next to each other. But they are not as near to each other as the Bank and the Sweet shop. C: Have you read the questions and the answers correctly? Ram is describing a plant that lives for more than a year, ives us shade as well as sweet fruits. Since it gives us shade, itis a tree and cannot be a rose plant or a coriander plant. It is also given that we cannot see its roots. We can see some roots of banyan tree and so it cannot be the answer. ‘The plant Ram is describing about is Mango. ‘A2633. 36. m7. 39, Skill: Classification/comparison of organisms/processes; giving examples C: Pick up a piece of chalk - doesn it look lke the shape in the question? A ball, or an ice cube normally doesn't look like this shape. What about a light bulb? It has a shape that is more lke a ball, A tube light has a shape like this, but the uostion is talking about a light bulb, so option D is incorrect D: Glass may break if put in fire. Wood will burn in fre. Stee! will get heated, but it will not change shape, even in fre. So, ‘option C is wrong. If we keep these objects near the stove, they will not change shape because of warmth from the stove. Only wax will change shape because of such warmth, Thus, option D is the only correct answer. D: Bones are hard and found inside the body. An earthworm, butterfly and cockroach do not have bones. Have you seen how a cockroach looks when it is crushed? It does not have bones inside its body. A sparrow has bones inside its body. So, option D is the correct answer. B: We get wool from sheep. We make clothes using wool. We do not make clothes using things from dogs, fish or donkeys.
