Recognizing these screens and instructions helps Teachers monitor when students start the Grade 2+ Galileo Benchmark Test, navigate the test, answer different test question types, and submit the test. Administrators must schedule the Grade 2+ Galileo Benchmark Test before students can take it.
The Imagine Galileo Benchmark Test may require more time to complete than other tests. Sometimes students can become impatient and guess the answers on test items instead of reading passages or test items fully. Encourage your students to take their time and do their best work.
Students typically complete the test in 30-45 minutes; allow them as long as they need to complete the test. The Benchmark Test can be administered over multiple sessions if needed. If a student logs out of the Benchmark Test, their answers will be saved and they can resume the test the next time they log in.
