'If we allow students to fail some will. The only way to ensure all students succeed therefore is to remove failure as an option (Corbett, Wilson & Williams, P1, 2005)'.

This report will focus on the case study identified below to problem solve the key question:
How can learning managers ensure success for students not achieving learning outcomes through diagnostic assessment practices.

The Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) states the purpose of assessment is to help students achieve the highest standards they can within their own capabilities (QSA, 2007).

It is the purpose of diagnostic assessment to determine the students learning needs and to assist if necessary either with adjusted curriculum or specialist intervention.
The purpose of diagnostic testing: To determine specific student learning needs or requirements. Diagnostic testing is administered by specialised school personnel, advisory teachers or specialist (Lynch & Knight, 2010).
Queensland Studies Authority states in their P - 12 Assessment policy document that the purpose of diagnostic assessment is to determine the nature of students learning and provide the appropriate feed back or intervention (QSA, 2007).
