[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The level really does mean grade level. So if a student's overall score is level 5 that means 5th grade.

This explains how the scoring works and is from Curriculum Associates who created I-ready.[/quote]
 :lol: Thanks.  [/quote]

The way I understand this is, at each grade there are multiple levels (k - 12). Each level is related to scaled score. A 2nd grader score is 550 and falls in level 5. what it means, teacher should discuss topics covered in level 5 (see geometer discussion above) so that student is benefited. [b]This does not translate to grade 5.[/b] There will be some overlap in topics across the grades.
Test is only for 30-60 minutes with 54-72 questions. How can it determine 2nd grader skills are equivalent of 5th grader in such short time?

From the link:
Placement Levels – the practical day-to-day language that helps teachers determine what [b]grade level of skills[/b] to focus on with a particular student. Placement levels indicate where students should be receiving instruction.  For your page 12 example, the text on the bottom of page 13 specifically shows that a Grade 5 student assessed at Level 3 is appropriately instructed using a [b]Grade 3[/b] workbook.  The link also pretty clearly contrasts the fixed form assessments, which have scores that are relative to grade level with adaptive assessments, which don't, and thus allow for more meaningful comparisons of achievement between years.  The link pretty clearly explains how all of this works.  If you're still confused, you can always talk to your child's teacher.  [/quote]

My DC school teacher didn't know much last quarter about it. fyi, My DC is above grade in iReady (supported by all the other academic indicators). My confusion is if you look at the scaled score chart posted earlier, your theory can support child ahead academics however if you take child who is not doing well according to iReady then scores drops as low as 100 for 7-8th grader. Am I to believe child in 7th grade does not know Kindergarten or 1st/2nd grade Math?
