What is the primary advantage of using vertical scaling on TestNav score reports across grade levels?
Answer: It allows comparison of academic growth from one grade to the next on a common scale
Vertical scaling places scores from different grade levels on a single continuous scale, making it possible to measure and compare student growth over time.
Which of the following is a valid reason a district might request a rescore of a TestNav machine-scored assessment?
Answer: There is evidence of a technical scoring error or a documented system malfunction
Rescoring requests are typically granted when there is documented evidence of a technical error or system malfunction that may have affected scoring accuracy.
When TestNav score reports show 'aggregate' data, what does this mean?
Answer: Scores are combined and summarized across a group such as a class, school, or district
Aggregate data summarizes scores across a group, protecting individual student privacy while enabling analysis of group-level performance.
On a TestNav score report, what does a 'standard error of measurement' (SEM) indicate?
Answer: The typical amount a student's score might vary if they retook a similar test
The SEM estimates how much a student's score might fluctuate due to measurement imprecision if they were to take the test multiple times under similar conditions.
Which TestNav reporting feature helps educators identify which specific standards a group of students has not yet mastered?
Answer: The standards mastery or item analysis report
Standards mastery or item analysis reports show performance on individual standards or items, pinpointing areas where instructional focus is needed.
If a student is absent during the TestNav testing window and misses the exam, what score is typically assigned?
Answer: An 'Absent' or 'No Score' designation, not a numeric score
Students who are absent are typically coded as 'Absent' or given a 'No Score' status in reporting systems rather than being assigned a numeric score.
