TaRL End Line Assessment

In the academic year 2025–26, the TaRL End Line Assessment has been included in the FA-4 examinations.

As part of this, in the FA-4 section of the Assessment Booklet, the Writing Part provided on Tool-2 page is completely allotted for TaRL Assessment. The marks related to this Tool-2 must be recorded in the OMR Sheet.

In the OMR Sheet – Part E (Tool-2), numbers from 0 to 5 (0,1,2,3,4,5) are provided.

Only TaRL levels 1 to 5 should be recorded.

The ‘0’ level should not be considered.

TaRL Telugu Levels

1 – Beginner Level

2 – Letter Level

3 – Word Level

4 – Paragraph Level

5 – Story Level

TaRL Mathematics Levels

1 – Beginner Level

2 – Addition Level

3 – Subtraction Level

4 – Multiplication Level

5 – Division Level

Based on the above levels, only the highest level achieved by the child must be recorded.

Example:

• If the child’s level is Word Level, bubble number 3 in Tool-2 of the OMR Sheet.

• If the child’s level is Subtraction Level, bubble number 3 in Tool-2 of the OMR Sheet.

(Only one bubble corresponding to the highest achieved level must be marked.)

TaRL Testing Procedure

The TaRL testing tools were already provided during the FA-2 examination.

The same tools/samples must be used.

The testing conducted in FA-3 (Part E) was also carried out using the TaRL Tool.

This testing tool contains 4 samples (Sample 1, 2, 3, 4).

For the End Line Assessment, only the sample that has NOT been used earlier for that student must be used.

Examples:

• If Baseline → Sample 1 and Midline → Sample 3, then End Line → Sample 2 or Sample 4

• If Baseline → Sample 2 and Midline → Sample 4, then End Line → Sample 1 or Sample 3

Thus, for End Line testing, only the unused sample must be used.
