The use of trial exams results for comparison of changes over 2005 and 2006

A few years ago preparing and coneching cased to be the responsibility of individual schools. The range of knowledge and skills written in the “Basis Program” and ”Standards” have not changed since then. For obvious reasons exam papers are different every year. Hence, there is no way of obtaining answers for the changes that have been happening over a period of time. International PISA research showed that in Poland there was a major increase in knowledge and skills of fifteen year olds between 2000 and 2003 [5]. I have been conducting trial exams for six years in Łódź. For the first few years The College of Computer Science was the organizer, currently it is Academy of Humanities and Economics in Łódź [3,4]. Every year more than 2000 students attend these trial exams. The 2005 and 2006 exam papers were redone with some small changes. In the work I am going to analyse the results of these tests and apply to changes over 2005 and 2006.
