As your students begin the Placement Test or Benchmark Test, you can check their testing status. Administrators can check the student status for any student in their school or district. Educators can only check the status for students who are assigned to them.
Note
Students take the embedded Placement Test just once—the first time they log in to Imagine Language & Literacy. This test is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Once students begin the Placement Test, the test window for them to complete it will never close.
To check the testing status for a class or student
- Log in to the Literacy portal. If this is your first time logging in, choose Imagine Language & Literacy.
- Click the Growth widget or click Growth in the Dashboard drop-down menu.
- Check the Benchmark Test Status table to see the testing status of your students. Choose the Testing Period that you want to view test statuses for in the drop-down list.
Students can have one of these testing statuses:
Status Description Eligible Students If your students are taking the Benchmark Test, this is the number of students who are eligible to take it. Students are eligible to take the Benchmark Test if at least 90 days have passed since they started a previous Benchmark Test, or if at least 93 days have passed since they completed the Placement Test.
