Online test assignment

Progress Monitoring Tests

To assign an online progress monitoring measure, go to the "Measures" tab and click on the grade of the test you want to administer (the numbered box located just to the right of the header "Grade").

Now scroll down the page until you locate the name of the assessment you wish to administer. On the right-hand side you will see a "Take Online" checkbox (for those assessments that can be administered online). Click the box, and a list of your student groups will appear. Once you’ve selected the groups you want tested, it's time to have students go to their login portal and take their assigned tests.

After assigning tests to students, look up towards the top of the page at the dark gray box called Measures on easyCBM. Students login to take tests at the URL address highlighted in blue https://app.easycbm.com/+classroom name.

Students logging in to that address will have to login using the teacher’s classroom name (they should never take a test through your account or ever be given your account password). Once the students are logged in, their group and individual names should appear for selection along with their test options.

Benchmark Tests

Before the program can assign a benchmark test (program not teacher assigns), first check the date range setting. Setting and opening a benchmark window is always at the discretion of the account owner and can be changed at any time. To access this feature, first login to your account and click on the “Account” tab. Now under the "Manage Settings" section, click on the blue Manage Settings link.

You will be directed to the Benchmarking Window Settings.

This feature allows account holders to set the dates when a benchmark test is available to take, To adjust this setting, select the opening and closing dates for the testing window. The benchmark window needs to be current for testing and the remaining benchmark dates need to be staggered with only one testing window open at a time. The dates need to be moving forward in time.

After selecting the dates, make sure to click on the “Save Settings” button in order for the changes to take effect. An example of correct benchmark window for the 2024-2025 academic year is:

Fall Sept. 6 – Sept. 26, 20204

Winter Jan. 2- Jan. 22, 2025

Spring May 1 – May 21, 2025

When the benchmark window is open you, the system will automatically assign tests to students, on-grade and for Grades K-8. If you already know a student is performing below their grade, please assign progress monitoring tests instead.

Once the benchmark testing window is open, students go to the website address highlighted in blue in the “Measures” section. This address will be: https://app.easycbm.com/+classroom name.

Students will then be able to choose their tests from a drop-down menu (like assessments in the Progress Monitoring section). Only on-grade tests, with open benchmark windows, will be available to them.

Of note, the dates listed in the Student Assessment History, along with the dates listed on the student graphs, reflect the beginning date of the benchmark period even though the date administered may be different from when the benchmark test was taken.

When doing data entry for benchmark tests, the default date, or time stamp when tests were taken (Finish Date), will be the first day of the benchmark period. We currently cannot change this because it would throw off all historical graphing.
