Manual test entry
Progress Monitoring Assessments
To manually enter student scores/responses, go to the “Measures” tab and click on the grade of the test you want to enter (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 “Enter Scores” link. A pop-up window will appear. Select the group name, then a scoresheet will appear.
Please note that when you manually enter data, it will default to the current date. If you need to back-date when a test was taken, please enter that preferred date BEFORE you enter in student responses.
Fill in the student responses or scores. Make sure to select the Save button when you are finished entering the scores. The program will score the responses and then the results will be graphed in the Reports section
Benchmark Tests
Rather you give a benchmark test online or manually, the testing window must be open in order to enter student scores into the system. If you are unable to enter benchmark scores, check the date range setting. Opening and closing a benchmark window is always at the discretion of the account holder.
To access this feature, click on the "Account" tab on your dashboard. Next locate the Settings section and click on blue Manage Settings icon.
Scroll down to the Benchmarking Window Settings.
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 also need to be moving forward in time. After selecting the dates, please make sure to click on the "Update Benchmark Dates" button in order for the changes to take effect. An example of a benchmark window for the 2024-2025 academic year is:
Fall Sept. 1 – Sept. 30, 2024
Winter Jan. 1- Jan. 31, 2025
Spring April 1 – April 30, 2025
Tests can be downloaded, printed, and administered to students. You will then score them with the provided answer keys which are found under the Measures tab under the Benchmarks tab. Tests, answer keys, and an icon link for entering test scores are located by going to the Measures tab and clicking on the Benchmark tab. You will click on the season icon and enter the scores on the pop-up page.
After clicking on this icon, you will be directed to a page where you can enter student responses and scores. Choose the student's grade and then look to the left-hand side of where you enter data, and click on either Total Score or Item -level Data. After you have entered the scores/responses, please scroll down to the bottom of the page and make sure to click on the "Save Scores" button to record the information.
