So your daughter blows though it and that invalidates it?


She doesn't really make an effort therefore she answers questions incorrectly and gets abysmally low scores.


Wouldn't a high IQ child know what's a stake and not click through randomly?? I guess kids can be smart and at the same time have no impulse control, but I wouldn't think such kids would thrive in a gifted or acceleration program.


No, a high IQ 7-yr old doesn’t know what’s at “stake” when they take the iready. What kind of ridiculous comment is this? There are plenty of children thriving in AAP w impulse control issues.


You need to explain high-stakes things to your child in an age-appropriate way, explain the relationship between answering questions correctly and getting a high score, take practice tests at home, and offer incentives. If you don't do things things and then b*t*h and pout about low scores, you are a moron. There are no kids in AAP who have such poor impulse control that they are answering questions randomly on high-stakes exams.


I wasn’t the OP, I’m a different parent and my child gets high 90s on I-Ready, but your comment was ridiculous and warranted a response. There are absolutely kids w impulse control issues in AAP who don’t do what their parents tell them. Also, making your kid take practice iready tests at home to get high scores is absurd. Many of us have kids scoring high 90s w/o needing prep.

tell your kid the kids who turn it in last are doing the best. It's likely to be true. IReady is an adaptive test.

Both of my impulse control kids routinely nail the IReady, as in 96% or higher percentiles -- as soon as I learned the test keeps going until it can stump you, I explained that to my child. Now they tell me who turned in the test last in class, as if that kids deserves a badge of honor.

Yup. I had a click through child and I had a talk with him after his teacher let me know. Maybe my child is more logical but I didn't even need to tell him the stakes were high. I just said you can't click through these, it's not what you're in school to do.

Well, any test is a crock of sh!t for someone who just "clicks through." You can't really blame the test for that ....

Your defensiveness about iready is super weird. Every teacher I've talked to has said that iready is useless.


One of the commonly cited issues with the iReady is that kids just click through so that they can get to the games at the end. All of my Teacher friends tell me that the iReady is meaningless for a large group of kids because of the click through issue. They also tell me that there is no way to recover from a mistake. One mistake and it drops to easier questions and there is no way to build up to that same level. So a low score might mean that a kid is missing important knowledge or skill or that the kid misread one question but is probably fine in that area. DS has one area in the reading iReady that this happens to every test. The Teachers tell us they know what is happening because it is one area, it has changed with every iReady, and they don't see any indication of there being an issue in the actual classwork. And he passes advanced on the SOL every year.

None of my Teacher friends think the iReady is particularly useful.



Thanks for this info. My kid got 70s on iReady despite being in the highest math/reading groups and doing great according to his teachers. When I asked if he needed help she scoffed and said iReady was meaningless because of this clicking through. I asked my kid about it and he bragged that he was the first one done and got to the games fastest. Ughhhh

Iready is in the packet and listed as one of the items considered based on the in pool email.

I was told iReady would be one of the data points on AAP eligibility this year.


The score is listed in the packet and was used as a datapoint last year as well.
