How it works
About your QuickScreen screening
Who is QuickScreen for?
QuickScreen is for people aged 17+ who are fluent in English. Its reading passage is pitched at the higher end of GCSE level. Contact us before booking if you are unsure about suitability or need support using the test.
What does it cover?
The six sections explore verbal skills, visual skills, vocabulary, memory, sequencing and processing. Activities include working with words and patterns, remembering information, reading, comprehension and dictation.
Preparing for your screening
Allow around one hour; some people need longer. You can take breaks between sections and return later. Finish a section before logging out, follow the supplied instructions and use the practice activities before starting.
Your name and consent
Under our charity’s policy, anyone aged 17+ applies in their own name and gives their own confirmation and consent. A trusted supporter can help with the booking form. Use one form for each person being screened.
Understanding your report
QuickScreen reports bring together scores, graphs and recommendations about literacy and learning skills. Findings may help you discuss support or further assessment with a professional, tutor or employer. Our team will explain the reporting arrangements.
Screening and diagnosis
QuickScreen does not provide a formal diagnosis of dyslexia or another condition. Our screenings, individually or together, do not replace a diagnostic assessment. You can seek support or professional advice without buying a screening.
