Caution
This article does not apply to students taking the embedded Imagine Language & Literacy Benchmark or the NWEA™ MAP® Growth Assessment. It only applies to students taking the Imagine Galileo ELA Benchmark in Imagine Language & Literacy (IL&L). If you aren't sure which assessment your school is using, read Checking which assessment option your organization is using.
After students have completed the Imagine Galileo Benchmark, Administrators can view results across classes in all schools, classes in a single school, or a single class in your district. You can also choose to view class and student results from a teacher's perspective, by switching to the Teacher Dashboard view. If you are unsure whether if a student has completed the test, you can check student testing statuses in the Imagine Galileo Test Monitoring Report. Before reviewing the results, watch this video detailing the Imagine Galileo Benchmark Performance Levels Report.

The Standards view provides color-coded standards mastery categories for each standard assessed. Standards mastery is determined by the percentage of test questions a student gets correct on a given assessment. The Standards view also allows you to identify students who need intervention on a specific standard. The Intervention Alert report shows the same legend and percentages defined by your district that the Standards view displays.
Note
Standards mastery is determined by the percentage of test questions students answer correctly on the Benchmark Test. To confirm an increase or decrease of students' mastery of each standard, compare multiple Benchmark Tests and view their differences.
This example is the Standard Data only available at the Student level.

Troubleshooting
Here are some quick solutions to problems you might encounter when administering the Imagine Galileo ELA Benchmark.
If students have taken the test, but you're not seeing a Benchmark Test report, contact your District Administrator to request the test analysis.
If a student's score is missing and you know the student has taken at least one of the compared tests, check the option to show only those students who took ALL of the tests chosen for comparison is enabled. If Only students who took ALL tests in the Filter area is selected, uncheck it, to compare scores for every student who took at least one of the selected tests.
