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 your students have completed the Imagine Galileo ELA Benchmark, Teachers can review the test results for students assigned to them. If you're unsure a student has completed the test, check the student's testing status in the Imagine Galileo Test Monitoring Report. Before reviewing the results, watch this short video detailing the Imagine Galileo Benchmark Performance Levels Report.

DL Score The Developmental Level (DL) score the student achieved. Performance Level The student's Performance Level for the specific test. Test results averages for the class, school, and district Class row(s) The combined averages for students across the whole class. School row(s) The combined average scores across all classes for a selected Galileo Benchmark Test. District row(s) The combined average scores from all schools across your organization for a selected Galileo Benchmark Test. 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. If you compare multiple Benchmark Tests, you can view the difference between the tests for each student to determine an increase or decrease in their mastery of each standard.
Columns in the Standards view section:
Term/Field Description Standards Mastery Categories Legend and percentage defined by your district, that also displays in the Intervention Alert report. Column Headings Name Name of the student who has taken a Galileo Benchmark Test. Test The Galileo Benchmark Test the student completed. School The student's school. Class The student's class. % Of Standards Mastered The percentage of standards the student mastered on each test. [standards] The remaining columns in the report are the individual standards and mastery categories students achieved for each standard. Mastery categories are color-coded to help you quickly analyze them. The same information also appears in the Intervention Alert, Development Profile, and Individual Development Profile reports. [first data row(s)] The first row shows the Galileo Benchmark Test that you selected. The remaining standards columns for that row indicate the assessment Item Count for each standard. Item Count is the number of items in the assessment that measure the standard.
A pop-up displays the assessment item(s) and all associated metadata.

Troubleshooting
Here are some quick solutions to problems you might encounter when administering the Reading Level Assessment.
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 are selected, uncheck it to compare scores for every student who took at least one of the selected tests.
