Tasmanian Curriculum > Assessment and reporting > Expected stages by year group

In the Tasmanian Curriculum, students are assessed against Standards 1–5. 

Each standard is made up of three stages; giving a total of 15 stages from Kindergarten to Year 10.

Within each standard, students are also assessed as having reached either a proficient or an advanced level.

Students progress through these stages from Kindergarten – Year 10 in major curriculum areas.

Teachers gather evidence of student work throughout the year and use this to assign stages. The table below outlines the stages that students are expected to attain each year.

It is important to note that while some students will reach different stages in different years, most students’ assessments will fall within the ranges outlined below.

Year level	Kinder & Prep	Years 1 & 2	Years 3 & 4	Years 5 & 6	Years 7 & 8	Years 9 & 10
Standards (1–5)	1	1–2	2–3	2–4	3–4	4–5
Stages (1–15)	1–3	2–5	4–8	6–10	8–12	10–15
