In TestNav reporting, what does 'subscore' information tell a student?
Answer: Their performance broken down by specific content areas or skill strands
Subscores break overall performance into specific content domains or skill areas, helping identify strengths and areas for improvement.
A student scored at the 'Basic' performance level on a TestNav assessment. What does this most likely mean?
Answer: The student demonstrated partial mastery of the grade-level standards
'Basic' typically indicates partial mastery of standards, meaning the student shows some but not full proficiency for their grade level.
Why might two students with the same raw score receive different scaled scores on different TestNav test forms?
Answer: Because scaled scores account for differences in difficulty between test forms
Equating processes adjust scaled scores so that differences in difficulty between test forms do not unfairly advantage or disadvantage students.
What is the role of the State Education Agency (SEA) in relation to TestNav score reports?
Answer: To set the performance level cut scores and reporting policies
The SEA establishes the cut scores that define performance levels and determines the policies for how scores are reported and used.
Which of the following best describes the purpose of 'growth scores' on some TestNav-based assessments?
Answer: They show how much a student's performance improved compared to a prior year's test
Growth scores track changes in a student's performance over time, showing academic progress from one testing period to the next.
If a TestNav score report lists 'N/A' for a subscore, what is the most likely reason?
Answer: There were not enough items in that domain to produce a reliable subscore
Subscores require a minimum number of items to be statistically reliable; if too few items exist in a domain, the subscore is reported as N/A.
What is typically required before a school district can access individual student TestNav score data through the reporting portal?
Answer: Authorized staff must log in with credentials that have appropriate data access permissions
Access to student score data in reporting portals is controlled through role-based credentials to protect student privacy under FERPA and state regulations.
