Imagine Galileo Benchmarks are standards-aligned and research-based tests that provide insights into students' overall ability. Imagine Galileo benchmarks are comprehensive in nature, much like the state test. Each benchmark measures a wide sampling of the grade-level standards that your student will be instructed on that year. The test results guide teacher-led instruction and intervention in your student’s classroom.
The first benchmark of the year provides a baseline or starting point on your student's path to grade-level learning. As the school year unfolds, your student's school will administer additional benchmarks and be able to look back on this starting point and see the growth and learning your student has accomplished.
Imagine Galileo Benchmarks are tests that students receive to help educators and families learn what your students may already know and what they may not yet know. This information will adjust instruction to best meet your student’s needs.
After your student has completed an Imagine Galileo Benchmark Test you can view a series of reports in the Imagine Galileo K-12 Student-Family Center that will show you the standards and skills that your student is proficient in and the standards where your student is still working towards proficiency.

|---|---|
| (A) Scheduled Tests | The test for the report is listed under the Selected Test heading. |
| (B) Score | The student’s points earned out of points possible and their score on each test. |
| (C) Standards | The state standard assessed. These are important essential standards students should master. |
| (D) Test number | The test associated with the student’s mastery category (E) and percentage of items correct (F). |
| (E) Mastery Category | The student’s standards mastery is demonstrated on each test. This is determined by the percentage of items correctly answered that were aligned to the standard. The possible mastery categories are: Emerging (0-59%), Developing (40%-59%), Approaching (60-79%) and Mastery (80%- 100%). |
| (F) Percentage Correct | The percentage of test items correct determines your student’s mastery category (E). |
Performance Levels across subjects
The Performance Levels Across All Subjects report shows your student's benchmark subject areas that were tested, the number of tests for each subject area, and your students’ Performance Level, in parenthesis, for each subject area.
Performance Levels across tests
