TestNav Score Review 3

Question 1

In TestNav reporting, what does 'subscore' information tell a student?

Accepted Answer

Their performance broken down by specific content areas or skill strands

Answer

Subscores break overall performance into specific content domains or skill areas, helping identify strengths and areas for improvement.

Question 2

A student scored at the 'Basic' performance level on a TestNav assessment. What does this most likely mean?

Accepted Answer

The student demonstrated partial mastery of the grade-level standards

Answer

'Basic' typically indicates partial mastery of standards, meaning the student shows some but not full proficiency for their grade level.

Question 3

Why might two students with the same raw score receive different scaled scores on different TestNav test forms?

Accepted Answer

Because scaled scores account for differences in difficulty between test forms

Answer

Equating processes adjust scaled scores so that differences in difficulty between test forms do not unfairly advantage or disadvantage students.

Question 4

What is the role of the State Education Agency (SEA) in relation to TestNav score reports?

Accepted Answer

To set the performance level cut scores and reporting policies

Answer

The SEA establishes the cut scores that define performance levels and determines the policies for how scores are reported and used.

Question 5

Which of the following best describes the purpose of 'growth scores' on some TestNav-based assessments?

Accepted Answer

They show how much a student's performance improved compared to a prior year's test

Answer

Growth scores track changes in a student's performance over time, showing academic progress from one testing period to the next.
